Construction of the castle was probably started by Przemysł I in 1249 on hill later called Góra Zamkowa, and now better known as Góra Przemysława. The first building was a habitable tower made of bricks with a well inside, and the rest of the hill was surrounded by a rampart with a palisade. A small ducal residence was incorporated into the system of city walls in the late 13th century.
