Abstract

The aim of the paper is to review and verify assumptions about the origins of St Adalbert’s church in Kalisz present in the literature. The church was built in the area of the settlement located next to the stronghold; due to this location and the dedication researchers counted it among the oldest 11th-century parish churches in Kalisz. A new analysis of written sources has shown that the church was founded in the 12th–13th c. A more specific dating, after the mid-12th c., is possible thanks to analyzing the results of the newest as well as earlier excavations conducted in the church and around it, which prove that the church was built within a settlement that had functioned from the 10th c. to the turn of the 13th c.
