Summary
Archaeological discoveries, when compared with historical accounts, reveal that at least fourteen small, single-nave churches were built during Bishop Otto of Bamberg's missionary expeditions to Pomerania between 1124 and 1128. These structures, constructed from wood, wattle, and clay, represent the first Christian churches in the region, excluding an earlier cathedral in Kolobrzeg (Kołobrzeg) dating back to 1000 AD. The study sheds light on the settlement context and architectural features of these early ecclesiastical sites, providing insights into their size, shape, and construction techniques.
