One of the largest hillforts in Wielkopolska. Certainly it was an important fortress in the Tribal period (it was built around 915 year AC) and later during the times of Mieszko I, the first Christian prince of Poland. Originally the rampart was up to 16 meters high and it had two wooden towers (in the Northern and Eastern part of the fort).
First excavations here were carried out in 19th century by a German archaeologist Wilhelm Schwarz. One of the most important discoveries on Grzybowo hillfort was made in late years on 19th century when an early-medieval hoard was found here. So far the archaeologists excavated only 10% of the hillfort's area.
