Guido Mine and Coal Mining Museum, Industrial heritage site in Zabrze, Poland

The Guido Mine extends 320 meters below ground level, containing multiple levels with mining machinery, equipment displays, and underground passages for visitors to explore.

Count Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck established this coal mine in 1855 to supply fuel for his industrial operations, reaching peak production of 312,976 tonnes in 1885.

The museum presents exhibits about Politically Repressed Soldier-Miners from the 1950s who were forced to work underground instead of performing military service.

Visitors access the site through two entrances: the main museum at Georgiusa Agricoli 2 and the Guido Mine entrance at 3 Maja 93 in Zabrze.

The underground complex includes a concert hall at 320 meters depth where musical performances take place in the former mining chambers.
