The Settlement Kapturowa Góra

The landscape of today's Szczaworyż is dominated by the Church of St. st. James. About a kilometer south of the village there is a mysterious hill that at first glance reveals that it was not created by nature.

Archaeological research confirms that there are remains of an early medieval settlement here. According to researchers, it was a refuge town. This means that it was not permanently inhabited, but could serve as a shelter for the local population in the event of an enemy invasion.

Scientists assume that the end of the settlement was brought about by the incorporation of these areas into the state ruled by the Piasts at the end of the 10th century.
