he first information about Karlin comes from 1299, but it is known that earlier in 1280 prince Barnim I handed over this area to the bishops of Kamień. Probably there was already a wooden stronghold at that time, which at the beginning of the fourteenth century is mentioned in documents as the seat of bishops.
In 1372, the chapter began the construction of the castle on the initiative of Jan or Filip von Rehberg. At the mouth of the Radew into the Parsęta, a large complex was erected to take over the functions of the bishopric of Kamień Pomorski. The construction was completed by 1385, when the castle settlement was granted city rights.
The first destruction of the castle and the town was in 1409. Another, probably much more serious, in 1481 by the troops of the townspeople of Kołobrzeg and Koszalin. Only after several dozen years in the 16th century, the

main castle building was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence, and the layout of the rooms was changed. In the forties of the sixteenth century, two new wings were added, which were connected to the gate.
The castle was spared by the fire that consumed the town in 1685. Finally, the castle was abandoned in 1761 after another fire in Karlin, in which it suffered seriously. Over the following years, most of the remains were demolished. In the 19th century, a brewery was erected in the basement of the main building, which was destroyed at the end of World War II and renovated served as a granary. Currently unused, it is deteriorating.
