Referred to in written sources as “Castrum Lubenov”, the tower in Lubrza was, until recently, one of the few well-preserved medieval residential and defensive structures located in the Lubuskie Voivodeship. It was built in a strategic location, approximately 10 km north-east of Świebodzin, in the valley of Lake Goszcza. Unfortunately, in 2016, the structure suffered significant damage. The majority of the mound was levelled and its earth removed from the site. The historic fabric of this important site was irretrievably devastated. Legal action taken by the Lubuskie Provincial Conservator of Monuments led to rescue excavations of the site, aimed at searching through the scattered earth, documenting and securing the remains of the hillfort. During the work, metal artefacts, fragments of pottery and animal bones were recovered, likely lying within the embankment, but also in the moat and the outer bailey of the complex.

The exhibition presents the results of the research obtained during the implementation of a project co-funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the City of Zielona Góra.
