Heritage coal mine Ignacy, Historical coal mining complex in Rybnik, Poland.
The industrial complex features two steam-powered winding engines from 1900 and 1920, alongside a 46-meter-high water tower with 222 steps.
Established in 1792 by the Prussian state as Hoymgrube, the mine operated continuously until its closure in 1995, marking over two centuries of coal extraction.
The former power plant building now functions as a meeting hall where retired miners gather to share their experiences and maintain mining traditions.
The site contains an interactive education center with over 20 physics exhibits, developed in collaboration with the Kopernik Science Center from Warsaw.
The hundred-year-old steam machine from Linke-Hofmann-Werke Company remains in operational condition and performs demonstrations during visitor tours.
