Siągarnia

Siągarnia is a forest settlement in the Murcki district of Katowice with traditional houses lining Lędzińska Street. The buildings are numbered sequentially and blend into the natural woodland surroundings.

The settlement originated during early Christianization when Saint Clement, a disciple of Cyril and Methodius, traveled through the region. From these early times, Siągarnia gradually developed into a stable forest community.

The name Siągarnia comes from local language roots and refers to the forested surroundings that define the settlement. Residents maintain traditional connections to forestry, visible in the wooden structures scattered throughout the community.

The settlement is accessible year-round without entrance fees. You can reach it easily via the main roads that connect to central Katowice.

Local folklore connects the place to the Black Well, a legendary spot remembered in old stories as the dwelling of a mysterious forest woman. This tale continues to shape the cultural memory of the area.
