In the late 14th century, the first names of the townspeople appeared, including of German origin, as well as the German surname Wyskirche (1372), Wizkirche (1375), used for the last time by Jan Długosz in the years 1470 to 1480 ( Woyskyerche id est Alba Ecclesia ) . In the late 14th and early 15th centuries, the castle was also expanded as the seat of the Starosts .
