Shaft furnace in Nowa Ruda, Industrial monument in Nowa Ruda, Poland.

The shaft furnaces in Nowa Ruda are a battery of five ovens, numbered 28–32, built in 1898–1899 to roast fire-resistant shale on the Piast field of the former Nowa Ruda coal mine. They are part of the mine relics that also include the Mining Museum, the Anna shaft tower and the Lech shaft engine room.

The structure was built in the late 1800s as part of the KWK Nowa Ruda mining complex and played a role in producing refractory materials. These types of facilities shaped the town during that era and determined how many residents earned their living.

This structure was once vital to the town's economy and continues to shape how residents see their industrial past. The furnace reminds visitors that this area built its reputation through hard manual labor and skilled craftsmanship.

The site is accessible throughout the year for viewing the preserved industrial structure from the outside. Wear comfortable shoes and plan time to walk around, as the location connects to other mining-era remains in the area.

The battery comprises five furnaces numbered 28 to 32, built in 1898–1899 on the Piast field of the former Nowa Ruda coal mine. They roasted fire-resistant shale, a material first studied in the 1860s by Józef Voelkel, a foreman at the Ruben mine. The last standing historic furnace collapsed in June 2014.
