LEDNOGÓRA
The village lies in Gniezno County, about 16 km west of Gniezno.
The Museum of the First Piasts in Lednica is a converted archaeological reserve set up on Ostrów Lednicki – an island in Lake Lednica – in 1969. The oldest and best preserved pre-Romanesque relics in Poland can be found there. The site was entered in the list of monuments of the history of the Polish state in 1994.
Parts of wooden living quarters from the 10th to 12th centuries have been reconstructed next to the old grad. These are visible from the ferry en route to the island. Mały Skansen is an open-air museum on the mainland where archaeological and anthropological exhibitions are staged. The main archaeological collections are exhibited at the farm in Dziekanowice. The Lednica collection of early medieval military equipment is one of the most extensive in Central Europe.
