In the nineteenth century, Rokitnica was already a large, industrial settlement, which was part of Count von Ballestrem’s property. Count was the owner, among others, of the mines "Castellengo" ("Rokitnica") and "Abwehr" ("Mikulczyce '). In the early decades of the twentieth century, Count took a special care of the miners working for him and built a housing estate „Stara Rokitnica”. It resembles a well-kept village with houses for four and eight families, next to which a school, a pharmacy and other public facilities were built.
