The castle in Dzięgielów lies on the eastern edge of the village, amongst very high, forested hills of the north-western part of the Silesian Beskids. The current Renaissance building was not the first stronghold. During the excavations, the traces of an earlier, medieval fortified settlement were uncovered here, which served primarily residential and defensive purposes. The archaeologists have uncovered fragments of walls and foundations of the circular building, which was probably a tower.
