Důl Drkolnov, Silver and lead mining complex in Příbram, Czech Republic.

The mining structure features a stone masonry shaft building with corner rustication, window openings, and a low gabled roof at its main entrance.

The mine, initially named August after Prince August Longin Josef Lobkowicz, began operations in 1836 and reached its maximum depth of 403.5 meters in 1872.

The site stands as a protected national monument since 2014, preserving the industrial heritage of Příbram through its underground tunnels and architectural elements.

The mining complex, managed by the Mining Museum of Příbram, includes underground passages and chambers that reopened for visitors in the year 2000.

The mine houses a preserved 12.4-meter diameter underground steel water wheel, which replaced the original wooden mechanism in the early 1890s.
