Szyb "Bolko", Industrial monument in Bytom, Poland.

The Bolko Shaft features a four-story steel construction with an electric hoist machine installed in the engine house at Kruszcowa Street.

The shaft began operations in 1906 with an initial depth of 100 meters, later extended to 130 meters for central dewatering operations.

The shaft structure represents the industrial heritage of Upper Silesia, reflecting the zinc and lead mining traditions of the Bytom region.

The facility now functions as Central Pumping Station Bolko, managing water drainage from former mining excavations to the Brynica River.

The engine house contains an electric hoist machine manufactured by Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft, installed in 1905.
