Siemianowice III shaft winding tower, Mining headframe in Siemianowice Śląskie, Poland.
The steel winding tower rises over 30 meters high and features a spire with a mining emblem at its summit, marking its presence in the industrial landscape.
Built in 1897 for the Laurahütte coal mine, the Siemianowice III shaft reached a depth of 216 meters and connected to other mining facilities through underground passages.
The structure represents the mining heritage of Upper Silesia, demonstrating the engineering capabilities and industrial development of the late nineteenth century mining sector.
The shaft currently functions within the Siemianowice pumping station area, supporting drainage and ventilation operations managed by the Central Mine Drainage Plants.
Three unsuccessful auction attempts were made to sell the tower structure without its headframe, requiring potential buyers to dismantle and relocate the entire construction.
