Things to do in Kostuchna: the former Boże Dary coal mine, two churches and monuments to local figures in southern Katowice.
Kostuchna is a southern district of Katowice that was joined to the city in 1975 together with Podlesie. Its industrial past left mine buildings, and beside one of its churches stand monuments commemorating people tied to the district.
Above all, see the Boże Dary mine at Boya-Żeleńskiego 95. It is a former coal mine of the Princes of Pless built in 1901-1903, called Böer until 1937, and its buildings are under conservation protection.
The site and its buildings still show what an Upper Silesian industrial works looked like at the start of the twentieth century, so it is a good stop for anyone interested in industrial architecture.
The district has two parish churches, from the end of the twentieth century and from the twenty-first. The Church of the Most Holy Trinity on Boya-Żeleńskiego Street was consecrated in 1995, and its dedication reflects three former parishes. It is a Roman Catholic parish church in the southern district of Katowice.
The Church of Our Lady of Fátima at Bukszpanowa 26 was under construction from 2012 and consecrated on 13 October 2025.
Two monuments stand on Blessed Stanisław Kubista Square, between Migdałowców and Boya-Żeleńskiego streets, near the Church of the Most Holy Trinity. The Blessed Stanisław Kubista Monument was unveiled in 2000 and commemorates a man who died at Sachsenhausen.
The Silesian Insurgents Monument is an obelisk bearing the names of 85 insurgents from Kostuchna. It was recreated in 2002 after a monument of 1922. Both are commemorative places, so they are viewed in a mood of reflection.
