Main Key Hereditary Adit

The Main Key Hereditary Adit extends through underground passages with water channels, demonstrating advanced engineering methods from the industrial era of Silesia.

Construction of this extensive mining infrastructure began in 1799 and continued until 1863, marking a period of rapid industrial development in the region.

The underground passages contain elements that reflect the daily activities of miners who worked in these tunnels during the nineteenth century.

Visitors can access the adit through guided tours that explain the technical aspects of coal extraction and water management systems.

The infrastructure maintains original water channels that were instrumental in draining multiple coal mines across the Silesian mining district.
