An extraordinary place. This museum - but also the entire area here - is often called the "Polish Pompeii". There are remains of the ancient settlement of Biskupin from 2700 years ago. Today it is an opportunity to see what life was like at the turn of the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. A must!

The Biskupin archaeological site in Poland contains the remains of a fortified settlement from the Lusatian culture, dating to approximately 8th century BC based on dendrochronological analysis of oak timber used in construction. The oval-shaped settlement, built on a lake island, housed around 800-1000 people in approximately 106 wooden houses arranged along 11 wooden-paved streets and was surrounded by a wooden-earth rampart up to 6 meters high. The fortified settlement was inhabited for about 150 years during the early Iron Age.
