Huta Katarzyna, Industrial heritage site in Sosnowiec, Poland
The former steel plant operated from 1881 to 2010, featuring manufacturing facilities, furnaces, rolling mills, and an adjacent workers' settlement with residential buildings.
Founded during Russian rule and named after Empress Catherine II, the facility evolved from a small metalworks into a major industrial complex employing 2000 workers by 1914.
The steel plant contributed to regional industrial development, providing employment and education through its company school established in 1902 for workers' families.
The industrial complex site underwent transformation in 2017 when Quamiro company purchased the property and initiated selective demolition while maintaining certain historic structures.
During the 1905 revolution, the plant became the location of a significant worker protest that ended in confrontation with Cossack troops, resulting in 38 casualties.
