Besiekiery Castle was build by voivode łęczycki Lawrence Sokolowski at the end of XV century. The Knights' headquarters had a tower and was surrounded by a moat, the remains are visible today.
In the year 1597, Cardinal Andrzej Batory rebuild castle. The next conversion after Swedish flood damage was taken by Łęczycki Starosta Jan Szczawiński in year 1655. His coat of arms "Prawdzic" yet acted on the cartouche. In the eighteenth century castle was in the hands of Gajewskich who lowered their residential building by one floor.
Built of brick on the rectangle plan had drawbridge leading to the most forward section of the wall outside the south peripheral gate tower.
After leaving castle in 1800 it was never inhabited again, and slowly fell into disrepair.
