Góra Świętej Doroty, Sacred summit in Będzin, Poland

The limestone hill rises to 382 meters above sea level, making it the highest elevation point in the Katowice Upland industrial region.

Archaeological findings confirm the presence of a fortified Lusatian culture settlement on the hill between the 14th and 3rd centuries BC.

The Saint Dorothy Church, constructed in 1635 with brick and broken stone, features three altars and a 20-meter-high bell tower.

Religious services take place on the 6th day of each month at 15:00, with free parking available at the base of the hill.

The eastern slopes contain a narrow ravine that extends into the pra-Przemsza valley in Gzichów, displaying distinct geological formations.
