Born to Olbracht Gasztołd, the voivode of Wilno (modern Vilnius) and Princess Zofia Wierejska, he was the last male heir of the - once mighty - Goštautai family.
A prominent member of the Grand Duchy's administration in the early times of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, Gasztołd held a number of important posts in the joint state's administration. Among others, since 1530 he held the post of the voivode of Nowogródek and since 1542 of Troki. On May 17, 1537 he married Barbara Radziwiłł, later a wife of King of Poland Sigismund II Augustus. Gasztołd died December 18, 1542, leaving his family fortune to his wife, who later passed it on to other branches of the Radziwiłł family.
