Interesting village. I didn't expect to see anything like this in Poland.

Archaeological investigations at Biskupin revealed remains of an early medieval settlement from the 10th-11th centuries, which served as a service and craft village connected to a small fortified settlement on the Biskupin peninsula. The reconstructed "Piast Village" features an oval layout with a central square surrounded by several smoke houses (kurne chaty) built using log construction and wattle-and-daub techniques, each measuring about 25-30 square meters with a central hearth and no windows. The village demonstrates various medieval crafts including leatherworking, pottery, blacksmithing, bread baking, and tar production, and is part of the Piast Trail tourist route.

This Neolithic settlement reconstruction represents a 6,000-year-old farming community, featuring a partially reconstructed "long house" based on archaeological excavations from the 1950s and 2011-2012. The original houses were built as elongated trapezoids with wooden posts driven into the ground, measuring several dozen meters in length and designed to house multiple related families forming a clan. The site includes a sacred water spring and cultivation plots with ancient plant varieties including chickpeas, lentils, four types of wheat, and flax.

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.
