What makes the Gródisko historically interesting?
The Gródisko is the early medieval highlight among the historic traces mentioned here. Its preserved ramparts and inner courtyard give a concrete impression of which parts of the site have survived.

What other historic traces are there?
The tumulus cemetery complements the early medieval Gródisko with a different kind of historic trace. The cemetery originally comprised seven burial mounds; four mounds remain today. These two figures describe different states of the cemetery: the original number and the number that still exists today. This distinction gives you a concrete point of reference when comparing Grabówko’s historic sites.
Another feature is the brick school building dating from the early 20th century. It differs in both period and construction from the archaeological traces: the Gródisko dates from the early Middle Ages, the cemetery is characterised by its mounds, and the school building is a brick structure from the 20th century. Grabówko is also one of the historic settlement units in the municipality of Nowa Karczma. This classification adds a perspective on the settlement’s history to the individual sites.
