Originally, an older building existed on the site of today's castle in Zabór (German: Saabor), but the current shape of the palace is the work of Joannes Schönaich, who commissioned the construction of a new, late Baroque residence in the years 1677-1683. The palace was built on a square-like plan, with four corner projections and a central courtyard, which was characteristic of palace complexes of the time. In 1711, the castle was acquired by Frederick Augustus von Cosel, the illegitimate son of King Augustus II the Strong and Countess Cosel. He commissioned further expansion and modernization works, transforming the palace into an impressive Baroque residence. During this period, the interiors gained rich decoration, and a large park in the French and later English style was created around the castle, which is an integral part of it to this day. Zabór became one of the most representative estates in Silesia at that time. Over the following centuries, the castle changed owners. In the 19th century it belonged to the von Schmettau family, and then to Prince Frederick Augustus of Anhalt-Dessau. A key change in the history of the castle came in 1945. After the end of World War II and the annexation of the Partition to Poland, the castle became state property. The castle in the Partition survived the war in relatively good condition. In the post-war years, the castle was adapted to the Provincial Children's Sanatorium, and then to the Center for the Treatment of Children and Youth. This medical function was maintained for many decades, which contributed to the preservation of the historic substance of the building. The interiors of the palace were adapted to the needs of a medical facility, losing some of their original decor.

The Baroque castle (palace) was rebuilt in 1745 and 1957. From the 18th century, it was the property of the Counts of Cosel, then the Princes of Siedlisko: Johann Carl, Prince of Schönaich-Carolath, married to Johanna Wilhelmina, Princess of Anhalt-Köthen, and their younger son Ferdinand (born 1763)[3]. The last owner of the palace before World War II was the second wife of the last German Emperor, Wilhelm II Hohenzollern, Hermina, who lived in the palace until 1922 and after the emperor's death until April 1945. From 1956, the palace housed a tuberculosis preventorium for children, from 1976 - a Children's Sanatorium, and from 1998 - a Centre for the Treatment of Children and Youth. The castle together with the farmstead, which includes: three outbuildings, an outbuilding (currently a school), a stable (currently a hotel), a morgue, a greenhouse, two utility buildings and a park constitute the castle complex. Above the main entrance in the cartouche are the coats of arms: the Schönaich-Carolath family (on the left) and a complication of coats of arms (on the right, including: in the central field of the shield and in the upper right field the coat of arms of Saxony, Count von Schlabrendorf).
