Biskupin, Żnin County, Archaeological site in Żnin County, Poland.
The archaeological site spans across two hectares and contains thirteen parallel rows of wooden houses connected by wooden pathways on Lake Biskupinskie.
Archaeological excavations in 1933 revealed a fortified settlement from the 8th century BC, which remained submerged under silt after water levels rose.
The site demonstrates advanced construction techniques of the Lusatian culture through its wooden fortifications, defensive walls, and residential structures.
Visitors can explore the site daily from 8 AM to 6 PM, with regular guided tours lasting two hours and admission fees of 8 PLN.
The settlement features a wooden breakwater system and defensive walls made from 20,000 logs that protected approximately 1,000 inhabitants from external threats.
