Maciej shaft complex in Zabrze, Mining complex in Zabrze, Poland
The Maciej shaft complex contains several industrial structures, including a winding engine house, headframe, ventilation fan system, and electrical switchboard building.
The complex originated as the West shaft of Concordia coal mine in 1841, under the ownership of Count Łazarz Henckel von Donnersmarck.
The industrial heritage site received official recognition as an immovable monument in 2005, representing the coal mining traditions of Upper Silesia.
Visitors can access the mining complex six days per week, experiencing the preserved industrial architecture and learning about coal extraction methods.
The shaft transformed from its initial ventilation purpose to handle transportation and waste management, later becoming a deep water well.
