Szyb Krystyna, Mining headframe at Zabrzańska Street, Bytom, Poland.
The steel and brick structure rises 30 meters high with a modernist design that resembles the shape of a mining hammer.
Built in 1928 as part of the Hohenzollerngrube mine complex, the shaft reached a depth of 510 meters for coal extraction operations.
The headframe represents the industrial heritage of Upper Silesia, standing as a reminder of the region's mining traditions and technological advancement.
The structure remains closed to public access, but visitors can observe its exterior architecture from Zabrzańska Street throughout the year.
The shaft tower contains two preserved electrical hoisting machines that replaced steam engines, increasing power output to 3,263 horsepower.
