Bardy-Świelubie [bardɨ ɕviɛlubiɛ] (or Bartin-Zwillipp)[1] near modern Kołobrzeg, Poland was a Viking Age Slavic-Scandinavian settlement on the southern Baltic coast.
Bardy-Świelubie differs from other emporia: The location is rather far from the coastline, and Bardy was built before 800, making it one of the earliest Slavic burghs in the coastal area.
Archaeological findings indicate participation in Carolingian trade, but evidence of non-Slavic presence is missing for this early stage.
[3] In the 9th century, Scandinavians (men and women) settled the site, as is evident from the adjacent tumulus grave field in Świelubie.
[3] Bardy-Świelubie was vacated in the late 9th century, when the Slavic grad of Kołobrzeg became the new center of the region.
