Historic Silver Mine in Tarnowskie Góry, Underground mine museum in Tarnowskie Góry, Poland
The Historic Silver Mine in Tarnowskie Góry is a former mining operation beneath the town that now welcomes visitors as a museum. The underground network extends across multiple levels with various passages and chambers throughout the complex.
Silver mining in this area started in the 16th century when local rulers granted the settlement mining rights. Operations continued for over 400 years, turning the town into a major mining center.
The mine reflects how industrial work shaped communities and local identity for generations of families in the area.
Visitors explore the mine on guided tours that combine walking and boat sections through the tunnels. The temperature stays cool year-round, so warm clothing and sturdy footwear are recommended.
A highlight of the tour is a boat journey through underground pools that have formed in the old tunnels over time. These flooded sections show how water has shaped and modified the mining spaces across the centuries.
