Historic sights in Świętochłowice: a palace in Piaśniki, the Donnersmarck directorate, Combat Bunker No. 39 and a shrine in Chropaczów.
Four buildings tell of the industrial and wartime past of the town. For visitors who sightsee alone and like traces of industrial works.
In the centre, at Katowicka 30, stands the former directorate of the Donnersmarck mines and steelworks from 1897, a brick building in the Northern Renaissance style, today a residential house, so it is seen from outside. In the Piaśniki district, at Bytomska 55, stands the palace in Świętochłowice, known as the Piaśniki little castle: a neo-Renaissance office house of a zinc company from 1859, rebuilt in 1917.
In the same district, in Heiloo Residents Park, you will find Combat Bunker No. 39 from 1937, a link in the second defensive line of the Fortified Area "Silesia", with a small museum room. To reach the shrine with a three-metre cross, go to Chropaczów: the Cross of the Lord's Passion was founded in 1899 on Kościelna Street. Other places in town are gathered under Świętochłowice, in industry and technology and among the churches and monasteries; a wider choice comes from historic sights in Silesia.
No, it is a residential building today, so it is seen only from outside.
A Polish heavy bunker from 1937 in a park in Piaśniki, listed as a monument, with a museum room of the Fortified Area "Silesia".
