In 1933, a village teacher from Biskupin, Walenty Szwajcer, noticed wooden piles protruding over the Biskupin Lake peninsula. Already the following year excavations began. Experimental archeology was born here, for the needs of archeology the latest scientific achievements were used, including min. captive balloon photographs, or underwater research. The settlement in Biskupin was established around 2700 years ago during the Sorbian culture. It was built on the island, which as a result of lowering the water level in the lake has transformed into a peninsula. The settlement covered an area of ​​2 ha and was inhabited by about 1000 people. The most famous archaeological reserve in Central Europe. This stronghold is one of the few archaeological sites in Poland containing full-size reconstructions of the rampart, breakwater, gate, streets and residential buildings. In addition to the reconstructed buildings, there is a museum exhibition "Dawn of history at Lake Biskupińskie", as well as the nineteenth-century Pałuck farm. In each third week of September there is a biskupin festival, including experimental presentations and reproduction demonstrations.
