A few miles north of the center of Żory we can encounter a brick tower of the steel plant “Waleska”. It is located within the protected area of the Landscape Park of the Cistercian Landscape Compositions of Rudy Wielkie. This brick tower was once used to pull manually a significant amount of raw materials up to a considerable height in order to charge the adjacent blast furnace with them. The plant operated here in the first half of the nineteenth century, and its name derives from the daughter of the owner - Franz Winckler.
