Saturn coal mine

Saturn coal mine is a former colliery in Czeladź with preserved extraction shafts, processing plants, and administrative buildings scattered across the industrial site. The facility displays the technical layout of a typical coal operation from its period of use.

Founded in 1887, the mine operated for over a century until its closure in 1996. It was part of Silesia's industrial boom during the period when coal powered the region's economy.

Coal mining shaped the identity of this region for generations of workers and their families who built their lives in this industrial area. You can still see today how central this work was to the daily life of people here.

Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the site consists of concrete structures and uneven surfaces. Access to certain areas of the former facility may be restricted and could require advance arrangement.

Mining machinery and equipment remain in their original positions on the site, showing the detailed extraction techniques used in the late 1800s. This original equipment offers a direct look at the practical work methods of that era.
