Remains of a hillfort are located on top of the hill called Zamkowa Góra, near village Mników. The hillfort is dated to the Iron Age (probably about 500 year BC), it was build by people of Lusatian culture.
Later it was reused in early medieval period.
The hillfort was divided in two main parts which are recognizable till nowadays. The earthwork is 28 m wide and 7 m high, the remains of the ditch are visible as well. The excavations on this site brought many finds which are kept in Archaeological Museum in Kraków now.
