Lubomia

Lubomia is a medieval fortress that spans several hectares and consists of three distinct sections. The main area is a circular fortification with double earthen ramparts that protected two additional settlement zones.

The Golensizi tribe built this stronghold between the 7th and 9th centuries near the Moravian Gate as their principal seat. A devastating fire destroyed the fortification between 874 and 885, ending its period of importance.

This was a major center for the Golensizi, a tribe that made this region their home and organized their economic and social life here. The layout of buildings and objects found there show how people lived and worked in this place.

The earthen rampart remains can be explored on-site, while artifacts and information about the location are displayed at the Wodzisław Śląski Museum. Visits are possible throughout the year and offer insight into the archaeological layers of the place.

An early geographer documented this place as the most important center of the Golensizi tribe in written records. This historical mention made it one of the most recognized fortified sites in the region.
