Yes, it is fascinating! The place is sometimes called "Polish Pompeii" because of how much of it was preserved in surrounding swamps.
An excerpt from the museum website tells that:
On the peninsula, only part of the settlement was reconstructed. The most characteristic is the gate. On both sides there are two sections of the rampart and the breakwater. Plans of constructions, discovered during excavations, allow for faithful reconstruction of the mundane parts of all objects to a height of 1 m. The higher parts were reconstructed on the basis of some indirect data. We do not know what was the shape of rampart parapet behind which the defenders hid. Also the shape and height of the defense tower are only alleged. However, the gates of the town, found during excavations, were faithfully reproduced. In 1999, a fragment of a complete reconstruction of the oak rampart was built. Inside the rampart, there are stairs and visitors can enter its crown.
Thank you for getting interested!
