Chrobry fortified village in Szprotawa

The Chrobry fortified village, located near Szprotawa in Lower Silesia, Poland, is a significant archaeological earthwork and historical monument. Named after Bolesław I the Brave, the first crowned ruler of Poland, this site comprises a large, polygonal plateau measuring approximately 4 hectares. The plateau is elevated 6 meters above its surroundings, with steep, regular edges, nestled between a bog and a marsh, partially dried out today. The structure, known as 'Nun Bush Hill' before 1945, is believed to date back to the medieval period, though the exact timeline of its construction or habitation remains uncertain. Recent archaeological findings suggest it may have been an incomplete or briefly inhabited medieval fortification. Recognized for its historical importance, the site is now protected, attracting interest for its impressive scale and strategic location.
