Attractions and Places To See around Mysłowice - Top 19

At the entrance gate to the „Ziemowit” Hard Coal Mine in Lędziny (at ul. Pokoju) stands a historic mine locomotive of the Ld-05 type (colloquially known as „Karlik”) as a monument. Here are the most important facts about this object: Symbolism: The locomotive, along with its wagons (so-called spoil wagons), is a symbol of the mining tradition of Lędziny and the mine itself, which is one of the largest mining facilities in Europe. Vehicle type: It is a classic narrow-gauge electric locomotive that served for decades to transport spoil and materials in underground workings.

Farski Square Today The pentagonal "market square," whose main attraction is the fountain, is bounded on the east by the existing historic former "parish" building (currently the seat of the Municipal Library), and on the west by the rebuilt and expanded parsonage "stables" with an added northern section, clock tower, and ground-level passage. In addition to the fountain, the square also features a pedestal with a cracked bell from St. Anne's Church, one of the oldest bells in the voivodeship.

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Lędziny is an ancient settlement, widely considered one of the oldest in the former Pszczyna region, and even in Upper Silesia. The oldest historically documented mention of Lędziny as an old settlement, still under Polish law, dates back to the 12th century, when the Pszczyna region, along with Lędziny, formed an integral part of the Kraków region. From the mid-16th century, Lędziny was owned by Baltazar Promnice. The Promnitz estate was divided into so-called keys, and Lędziny belonged to the largest of these, known as the Bijasowice, later Lędziny. This was the beginning of the rapid development of a manor-serf economy based on agriculture, animal husbandry, pond farming, and forestry, which in turn led to the expansion and growth of the village's importance. https://www.ledziny.pl/gospodarka/inwestycje-miejskie/plac-farski-koncepcja.html

In autumn you need to watch out not only for protruding roots but also for treacherous leaves lying everywhere.

A ROUNDABOUT WITH A MINING ACCENT. In Mysłowice, as a result of the modernization of Piastów Śląskich Street, a new roundabout was created at the end of 2015 – the Wesoła Górników Kopalni Roundabout. This means that the holding mine of two names now also has two roundabouts. One features a mining cart in front of the former Mysłowice mine (intersection of Katowicka and Bytomska Streets). The second was built right here, near the Wesoła mine. I would like the roundabout itself to be perceived as a kind of wheel of history, but more on that later. The large, red, rope-like shaft wheel placed in its center may be reminiscent of the wheel of fortune, which stopped at the end of the 18th century right here, at the name of Johan Christian Ruberg. more... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.gwarkowie.pl/images/pliki/publicystyka/artykul-rondo-1237.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwic26C07pOQAxXXQvEDHUKgCFwQFnoECDsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2xB6Y94Kd8nRvsv034wAm2

The Miners' Roundabout in Mysłowice-Wesoła is a symbolic commemoration of the hard work of miners, located on Piastów Śląskich Street. It was opened alongside a major street reconstruction, and features a large mining hoist as a decorative element. It is one of two roundabouts commemorating miners in Mysłowice; another, commemorating miners from the Mysłowice mine, is located at the intersection of Katowicka and Bytomska Streets. The roundabout was created as part of the reconstruction of Piastów Śląskich Street, which also included renovations to bus bays, intersections, pedestrian crossings, storm sewers, and the water main. Its purpose is to honor the work of generations of miners associated with the Mysłowice and Mysłowice-Wesoła Coal Mines, as well as to emphasize the mining character of the city. The impressive wheel of a mining hoist is located on the roundabout. The second roundabout commemorating miners, located at Katowicka and Bytomska Streets, has a mining cart in the center and is named after the miners of the Mysłowice Coal Mine. Source: AI
