Kopalnia Węgla Kamiennego Grodziec, Historic coal mine in Będzin, Poland.

The Grodziec Coal Mine complex contains seven deep shafts distributed across four tectonic blocks labeled A, B, C, and D in the mining region.

Established in 1899 by Grodzieckie Towarzystwo Kopalń Węgla i Zakładów Przemysłowych, the mine operated continuously until its final closure in 1998.

The mine contributed to Warsaw's reconstruction in 1945 by sending 44 train wagons filled with coal to support the capital's rebuilding efforts.

Visitors can examine the remaining administrative buildings, storage facilities, and the metal water tower that stands as a reminder of mining operations.

During World War II, this facility remained the sole mine in Zagłębie Dąbrowskie region that maintained independent management instead of Preussag control.
