Description

The Coal Mining Museum in Zabrze is a cultural institution of the City of Zabrze co-run by the Local Government of the Silesian Voivodeship. It manages the Guido Coal Mine and the “Queen Louise” Adit.
The Guido Coal Mine was set up in 1855 and it is today the deepest show mine in Europe, with a depth of 320 metres. A particular attraction are the underground concerts and theatre shows.
The “Queen Louis” Adit is a show mine with, among other things, spacious passages with brick vaults, the reconstruction of an underground coal port, a gallery drilled entirely in a coal deposit, which is unique in Europe, and 20th century mining machinery in operation.
The Guido Coal Mine and the “Queen Louise” Adit are Anchors Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
