Kolonia Alfred, Mining workers settlement in Katowice, Poland.
The Alfred Colony consists of single-story residential buildings constructed in historicist style, including a shaft building and hoisting machine structure.
The settlement emerged in the mid-19th century to house workers of the Alfred Mine, which operated from 1834 until its merger with Hohenlohe Mine in 1859.
The name Alfred originates from John Baildon's son, who collaborated with the Hohenlohe-Öhringen princes in establishing the mining complex.
The Foundation for Children and Seniors Support leases three buildings since 2015, initiating the revitalization of the residential section.
Former mining facilities, including the shaft building, forge, boiler room, and administration building, have been transformed into residential structures.
