Hillfort in Zachodniopomorskie

Large fortress built at the end of the 6th century BC century BC (end of the Bronze Age and beginning of Iron Age Hallstatt period) by the population of the Lusatian culture.
For centuries, maybe millennia, the hillfort sheltered people during enemy invasions.
It has an oval shape and is probably the oldest part of Myślibórz. Located 1.5 kilometers north of the city center, adjacent to the east of the Gulf Ptasia of Myślibórz Lake.
The central axis of oval fort is about 140 meters long and is oriented meridionally.
The width is about 65 meters. The pre-existing hill was widdened by wooden and earthen walls and a wooden stockade. Even today it stands about 6 meters above the fields to the east and to the west it is up to 12 meters above the water level of a lake Myślibórz, which is only 50 Meters away.
Later the Pomeranian inhabitants built an early medieval castle dated to the years 870 - 973/979.
When Mieszko I founded the Polish state at the end of the 10th century CE, the settlement expanded again.
The earth, wood and stone defensive structures no longer met the defense needs of the 12th/13th century, after which the Hilflort was abandoned.
It was used again during World War II, as evidenced today by traces of trenches.
Systematic archaeological research was began in World War II by German archaeologist H. Heiligendorff, but information about research findings probably did not survive. After the war, archaeological research was conducted in June 1958 by W. Szafranski. The results were published in a work entitled. "Studies in Grodzisko Mysliborz in Western Pomerania." They show the existence of a settlement of the Lusatian culture.
Today, the 2,500 years history of the settlement is an interesting site for suburban walks. It is an excellent vantage point.

Grodzisko Myślibórz submitted by marasch : Site in Zachodniopomorskie Poland. Extensively cleared settlement. In the spring, between the branches of leafless trees you can see Lake Mysliborskie shining. The bright spot is the mole mound. On the left, the baked expanse of grass represents the mindless "fun", which is unfortunately quite common in Poland each year. Educational and administrative appeals, firefighters and police are dis... (Vote or comment on this photo)
