Giecz, Archaeological site in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
The village contains remnants of a medieval settlement with stone walls, a pre-Romanesque rotunda, and a 13th-century palace complex near Giecz Lake.
During the early Middle Ages, Giecz served as one of the primary strongholds of the Piast dynasty alongside Poznań and Gniezno from 940 onwards.
Archaeological excavations reveal burial grounds with skeletons, bronze artifacts, glass beads, and clay vessels dating from the 10th to 11th centuries.
The excavation site lies 33 kilometers east of Poznań and 12 kilometers northeast of Środa Wielkopolska, making it accessible for daily visits.
A bronze stylus discovered at the site indicates early connections between the Polish state and Western Christian scholars during medieval times.
