The workers’ colony in Czerwionka (part of the
commune and town of Czerwionka-Leszczyny in the
Rybnik district) is one of over two hundred such
colonies in Silesia. It was built in the years 1899-1916
for the workers of the Dębieńsko mine. This interesting
complex consists of 98 buildings, most of which are
brick family houses of very interesting architecture. The
colony is considered by historians as one of the most
valuable settlement, and has been entered in the
register of historic monuments.
The tradition of coal mining in the Czerwionka-Leszczyny
goes back 200 years ago from now. As early as in the
nineteenth century, there were a few small operating mines
here. At the end of that century, most of them merged into
a big mine - "Dębieńsko". It mined coal by 2000. What has
remained of the mine is characteristic brick buildings, a
winding tower, a large mine waste dump, and a workers’
colony. It is worth seeing the House of Tradition of the
"Dębieńsko" Coal Mine, which houses many exhibits and
memorabilia.
In Leszczyny, once a village and now a district of the
town of Czerwionka-Leszczyny, there is a typical manor
building with a characteristic three-story tower. This
residence, sometimes called Leszczyny Castle, was built
in the years 1882-1888, when the owners of the local
estates were the Bartelt family. Today, the palace
houses, among others, the Public Library, and
therefore, the monument can be viewed without
restraint.
In the village of Bełk, located in the district of Rybnik, there is an, eighteenth-century wooden Church of Saint Mary Magdalene. Besides the monument, which is recently unfortunately closed, one can see attractive landscapes. The church is adjacent to the ponds and the Bierawka river, which are part of the landscape park “Cistercian Landscape Compositions”. The church in Bełk is situated on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesia province.
In the mid-90s of the last century, one of the first
weather radars in Poland was mounted on a wooded
hill called “Ramża”, near Rybnik. Its task is to monitor
violent weather phenomena and a cyclic data transfer
to the operation center. After the modernization in
2010, the radar became the most modern of all eight
such devices installed in Poland.
