Being situated about 70 km NE from Poznan, Biskupin is one of the best known archaeological reserves in Central Europe.

It was founded before the Second World War by the efforts of archaeologist from Poznan University, Professor Jozef Kostrzewski, and grew constantly thanks to his assistant, Prof. Zdzislaw A. Rajewski.

Today, Biskupin archaeological reserve covers 24 hectares (59.3 acres). But it is not only a relic of the past. Each year thousands of people come here, especially during the largest archaeological festival in Europe, performed every year during the third week of September. It becomes then a centre of experimental archaeology, education and above all - fun.
