Knight’s Skeleton Found Under Ice Cream Shop in Poland

The complete skeleton of a man believed to have been a medieval knight in the 13th or 14th century has been discovered under the location of a famous former ice cream shop in Poland.

CBS News reported that archaeologists from the ArcheoScan Archaeological and Conservation Workshop were working at the site in Gdansk, a Polish city on the Baltic coast, last month when they unearthed a limestone tombstone, which was carved with the image of a knight wearing chain mail and holding a sword and a shield.

The location was formerly home to the Mis ice cream parlor, which operated there from 1962 to 2023. It has reportedly been an active archaeological site for the last two years after a company that had bought the plot for development was required to conduct archaeological research before starting construction.
