Pobedim Hillfort

Slavic lowland hillfort with a burial site, archaeological site from the 9th century. The hillfort was located south-west of the present village, its area was about 8 ha in total. It was originally located in a marshy area, which was drained before archaeological investigations were carried out in 1959.

The dwellings were simple earth houses with a stone oven in one corner. There were numerous settlements in the vicinity of the hillfort, some of which had a blacksmith’s workshop. The castle was one of the important places of power, which had an important organizational-administrative, commercial and production function. There is a local museum in the Peasants’ House, which is period furnished. In addition to historical furniture, it houses folk clothing, working tools and a collection of traditional ceramics.
