Bishorst, Archaeological site in Pinneberg, Germany
Bishorst is an archaeological site in Pinneberg district with remains of a medieval settlement built on a warft. The finds show how people lived here over time and how nearness to the Elbe River shaped their daily life.
The settlement began in the 9th century and gained church importance in the 12th century through missionary Vicelin. This founding phase shaped life here for several hundred years.
Missionaries shaped this place in the Middle Ages and made it a religious center for people in the region. The name and use of the site today still show traces of this church heritage.
The place sits in marshland near the Elbe and can be hard to reach during high water. It makes sense to bring information materials or check local tips before visiting.
Parts of the settlement flooded during storm surges in the 18th century and stayed underwater. These dramatic floodings can become visible again at times when water levels drop.
