The existing building was transformed into the southern wing, an additional eastern wing was erected and the construction of the western wing was begun, which was completed during the reign of the next king Sigismund II Augustus. During the Swedish invasion, the castle was destroyed by blowing up. Only the west wing remained in good condition. On the recommendation of Jan III Sobieski, it was rebuilt into a detached palace building, which has survived to this day. He held clerical, judicial and prison functions. In the years 1965-1986, thorough renovation and conservation works were carried out at the castle, which were intended to be used as the seat of the District Museum in Sandomierz.
