The name Tropszyn is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1390, referring to its owner Chebda from Tropsztyn. However, archaeological research has proven that the castle was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. One may assume that its founder was Gniewomir or his father Zbroslaw, the heir of Tropie village. The castle belonged to Chebda until 1535. Then Prokop Chebda sold the already deserted fortress to the Sandomierz castellar Piotr Kmita. Shortly thereafter, Robkowscy ruled the castle, then the Gabanski family, who probably rebuilt the fortress. At the beginning of the 17th century Tropsztyn was completely ruined.
