Gliwice coal mine

The coal mine facility extends across multiple levels, featuring two main shafts that reach depths of 170 and 320 meters beneath the surface.

The mine operated continuously from 1901 to 2000, extracting over 500,000 tons of coal annually during its peak production in the 1930s.

The site includes Saint Barbara's chapel at level 170, incorporating raw brick walls and industrial elements within a mining environment.

The former mining complex now functions as the New Gliwice Business and Education Center, offering office spaces and educational facilities.

Original horse stables remain at level 170, demonstrating the essential role of horses in early twentieth-century mining operations.
