The first castle in Sucha Beskidzka – known only as Sucha until 1965 – was probably located on the same site as the later palace. After it was burned down, the then owners of Sucha sold the complex in 1554 to Kasper Suski (Italian: Gaspare Castiglione), a goldsmith from Florence who had risen to the nobility at the royal court in Kraków. By 1580 he had the architect Gregorius Kaczorowski build a Renaissance palace in Sucha based on the model of Wawel in Kraków. Since 1991, part of the palace has been used as a cultural institute and another as the Kasper Suski hotel and restaurant – named after its builder.
