History on site: Villa and mining

The restored historic Willa Fitznera is associated with industrialist Wilhelm Fitzner and reopened in 2010. It is located in the city centre. As a historic villa, it offers a different focus from Park Tradycji, whose history is linked to the former mining site. The exhibition “Z dziejów Siemianowic Śląskich” at the Municipal Museum in Siemianowice Śląskie offers an introduction to the city’s history; check whether it is currently on display before your visit.

Park Tradycji opened in 2012 on the site of the former “Michał” mine, in the former engine house of the “Krystyn” shaft. Interactive displays introduce visitors to the history of mining and Siemianowice Śląskie. The park also features a steam winding engine dating from 1905. The dates refer to different aspects: 2012 marks the opening of the park, while 1905 is the date of the machine.

The “PSZCZELNIK” sports complex is located in Pszczelnik Park near the centre of Siemianowice Śląskie.
