Kohlebergwerk Wodzicki, Historic coal mine in Fohnsdorf, Austria.

The Wodzicki mine features a 47-meter-high double-strut framework that supports the shaft structure for coal extraction operations.

The mine began operations in 1884 after eight years of preparation, named after Ludwig Graf Wodzicki, the first president of Austrian-Alpine Mining Company.

The preserved mining structures represent industrial heritage of the Styrian region, documenting the technological advances in coal extraction methods.

The mining museum, established in 1983 within the former engine hall, presents exhibitions about the regional mining history through original equipment.

The Wodzicki shaft reached a depth of 1200 meters, making it the deepest brown coal mining operation in the world until its closure.
