Kazimierz-Juliusz hard coal mine, Historic coal mine in Sosnowiec, Poland.

The Kazimierz-Juliusz coal mine extends deep beneath the northeastern section of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, featuring multiple underground levels and extraction chambers.

Established in 1884, the Kazimierz-Juliusz mine operated continuously for 132 years until its final closure in 2016, marking the end of coal mining in the Zagłębie Dąbrowskie region.

The mine stands as a testament to Polish industrial development, representing generations of miners who contributed to the region's economic growth through coal extraction.

Following its closure, the mine undergoes continuous monitoring with specialized equipment to measure seismic activity and geological changes in the surrounding area.

The facility maintains an advanced network of fifteen triaxial seismometers that track ground movements and potential tremors resulting from the ongoing mine flooding process.
