Biskupin has a unique place in the history of Polish archaeology. Here, in the small village far from big towns, Polish archaeology entered a new era. Research carried out on a huge scale, new methodology and well preserved wooden constructions of the prehistoric settlement – all these made Biskupin famous beyond the borders of the country.
Biskupin also has a place in the history of Polish culture of the 20th century.
