Lubomia, Medieval hillfort in Lubomia, Poland.

The fortress covers 5.3 hectares and features three distinct sections, including a circular main fort with double earthen fortifications and two ancillary settlements.

Between the 7th and 9th centuries, the Golensizi tribe established this stronghold near the Moravian Gate, which was destroyed by fire between 874 and 885.

Archaeological excavations conducted from 1933 to 1970 uncovered numerous structures, including houses arranged in rows, along with pottery, tools, and weapon fragments.

Visitors can explore the remains of earthen revetments and examine artifacts from the site at the Wodzisław Śląski Museum throughout the year.

The Bavarian Geographer documented this settlement as the primary center of the Golensizi tribe, making it the largest fortified structure in Upper Silesia.
