Austrian soldiers converted the hill into barracks and as a consequence, much destruction and alteration took place: the Renaissance arcades of the courtyard were walled up, the interior of the castle was changed and parts of the buildings were demolished; amongst the buildings destroyed were the churches of St. Michael and St. George.
Wojsko austriackie przekształciło wzgórze na koszary, co pociągnęło za sobą liczne zniszczenia i przebudowy: obmurowano krużganki i zmieniono wnętrza zamku, rozebrano część budynków (m.in. kościoły św. Jerzego i św. Michała).
