March 28, 2026, Grodzisko IX–XII w. Archaeological Site

In 1965, T. Kaletyn conducted surface surveys in the fort and its immediate surroundings. Stains from earthenware vessels with traces of packaging were found, some were also decorated. In the second half of the 1960s, the remains of two dugout boats were excavated. The inventory consisted of fragments of ceramics and iron knives, on the basis of which these hollows were dated to the pre-10th century period. Incomplete information about the monuments discovered during archaeological research causes difficulties in verifying the dating of the settlement and its chronology from the 9th to the 12th century.

On August 20, 1814, she buried her 10-year-old son, who died after a long illness. On January 30, 1832, the Countess's body was also buried there. In May 1832, by order of her sons, the bodies of the Countess and the boy were exhumed, transported to another city, and buried in a family grave.

Incomplete information about the monuments discovered during archaeological research causes difficulties in verifying the dating of the settlement. Early medieval castles were generally regarded as objects with a strictly defined military character. They had to fulfill their tasks: defend tribal borders, control trade routes, and secure the interests of the elites in various intra-urban relationships. The essence of castles was their strong fortification, which manifested itself in the presence of the most durable and functional defensive structures on the castles and the optimal adaptation of the castle's founding site to the local terrain conditions. The hill on which the settlement is located was formerly called Portsberg or Kapellenberg, and around 1814, Countess Sophia Stosch, who owned Nawojów Sláski in the years 1807-1832, ordered a mausoleum to be built over the settlement.

The 40 m long and 26 m wide Maidan is surrounded from the south by a section of a shaft with a length of 28 m, a base width of up to 3 m, and a height measured from the inside of the fortification, and covers an area of approx. 800 sqm. In the southern part of this defensive foundation, a section of the ditch has been preserved. The object was discovered around 1930 by German scientists (W. Frenzel, O. Gandert, G. Hoffmann). Unfortunately, the historical material obtained during their work in 1932, 1935, and 1938 was lost during the last war. Animal bones, charcoal, stones, and shrapnel from a clay hut were found during the excavations. After 1945, Polish archaeologists began research, but it was very limited in scope...

Here is the translation for our German friends: This medieval Slavic settlement in Nawojów Śląski belongs to a group of Sudeten castles inhabited by the Silesian tribe of Bobrzan at the confluence of the Kwisa and Bobra rivers. It includes defensive objects from Boleslawiec, Jelenia Góra Grabarów, Marczów and a supposed fortress on Krzyzna Góra. It also appears under the name Lagów (German name: Logau). It is located at approx. 400 m east of the Kwisa riverbed in a place with great defensive qualities. The settlement has a horizontally oval shape, extending on the north-south axis...
