Wolin - a town located in north-western Poland on the island of the same name, on the Dziwna Strait, which is one of the outlets of the Szczecin Lagoon into the Baltic Sea. Archaeological research in this area has shown that the first traces of settlement come from the Stone Age. They also confirmed the continuity of settlement in the Bronze Age, Iron Age, during the period pf Roman influences, as well as the Migration Period (4th-6th century AD) which was the same time when Slavs came to this area. The so called Bavarian Geographer in his account writes about the tribe of Uelunzani (Wolinians), who had seventy strongholds and this is the first written mention of Wolin from the mid-ninth century.
Due to its convenient location and trade, Wolin developed quickly and became the centre of the religious life of Slavic worship of Svetovid and Triglav. They pursued independent policy until 967when they lost the battle with Mieszko I and the city was incorporated into Poland while maintaining great autonomy. During this period, a hook construction rampart was erected around the city, which was a structure widely used in Poland. An interesting fact is that the Danish king Harald Bluetooth took refuge in Wolin in 987, fleeing his son Sven, and died of wounds here. Inhabitants of Wolin, apart from craft and trade, began to deal with piracy and it was so effective that some Danish islands were depopulated and their native population was replaced by Slavs.
What made Wolin the most famous today are the Scandinavian sagas in which he is called Jom or Jomsborg. Among many sagas, one of the most important is Jomsvikingsaga (The Saga of Jomsborg Vikings), which largely describes the history of the Vikings of Jom. It was created at the beginning of the thirteenth century in Iceland at the Thingeyra monastery and it can be said that it is a compilation of earlier records and traditional oral communications of Scandinavian skalds celebrating the heroic deeds of the Wolin warriors called Jomsvikings, and the second such rich source is the Olav Tryggvasons saga from the mid-twelfth century. According to many historians, the sagas cannot be treated as a historical source, because history, literary fiction and differences in the description of the place and time are very much mixed up. However, recent archaeological achievements and the addition of new cognitive tools contribute to changing these views and intensifying research on sagas.
Nowadays, the Icelandic sagas, and especially the Jomsviking saga, have become an inspiration to create a historical festival from this period, which took place in Wolin on July 2, 1993. The festival's organisers were contemporary Vikings from Denmark under the leadership of the late prof. Geoffrey Bibby. At that time, the events were taking place in Wolin in the city itself, only in 1999 the festival was moved to the nearby island of Wolińska Kępa, where the reconstruction of the Jomsborg castle was initiated. Already in 2002, the association "Centre of Slavs and Vikings Wolin Jomsborg Vineta" was established, which set itself the goal of building an early medieval open-air museum.
