In the coming years, researchers will focus on the castle in Danków. In early Middle Ages, the town was an important centre on the map of Poland. Here, in the period of feudal disintegration, Polish princes and bishops gathered. It was a private fortress that particularly flourished in the seventeenth century. Danków castle hosted Polish kings Sigismund III and John Casimir.

Dark page in the castle history was written by Stanisław Warszycki, castellan of Kraków, one of the most important figures of the Republic in the days of the Deluge, who tortured one of his wives, and supposedly blew up the other during a tryst with a lover.

The fortress in Danków hides a lot of mysteries. Although the mighty fortifications have been partially preserved, it is not known what the inner buildings looked like, or Castellan of Kraków palace and auxiliary buildings. It is also unclear how the Danków castle looked in the Middle Ages.
