Grodzisko Owidz, Open-air museum in Starogard Gdański, Poland
Grodzisko Owidz is an open-air museum with reconstructed medieval buildings and structures that show how early Polish settlements were organized and defended. The reconstructions allow visitors to see how people lived and how defensive elements protected the community.
The museum is based on archaeological evidence from a medieval fortified settlement that once existed at this location. This evidence guided the reconstruction to make the history of this early Polish community available to visitors.
The site hosts regular events where people dressed in period clothing demonstrate medieval crafts, cooking, and combat methods that were part of daily life. Visitors can watch these traditional skills and daily practices unfold directly before them.
The location offers guided tours, workshops on traditional crafts, and demonstrations of medieval combat techniques throughout the year. Visitors should dress appropriately for outdoor activities and plan time to explore the different areas and activities available.
The site combines environmental education with historical presentations, offering botanical walks and ecological workshops alongside medieval reenactments. This combination shows how closely human settlement was connected to the natural environment.
