Biskupin, Archaeological site in Biskupin, Poland
Located on a former island in Lake Biskupin, the settlement contains 106 wooden houses arranged in rows along 11 streets within defensive walls.
The site was discovered in 1933 when water levels dropped, revealing wooden fortifications dating from 748 BCE that belonged to the Lusatian culture.
The settlement layout demonstrates advanced architectural planning with identical houses measuring 8 by 10 meters, connected through a network of wooden streets.
The archaeological museum opens daily from 9 AM, with extended hours during summer months and shorter hours between November and March.
The wooden structures remained preserved for centuries due to the lake waters, making it possible to determine the exact construction date through dendrochronology.
