The view of these ruins with its climate resembles the famous building remains in Chernobyl. This cement factory produced Portland cement and it was the fifth factory of this type that was established in the world. It was launched in 1857 and operated until 1979. The cement produced in this plant was used, among others, for the construction of the Silesia Fortified Area. Under the cement plant, a mining retaining pillar was maintained in the 1.8 m thick coal seam under the building. The reason for its closure was the exploitation of the deposits located below the building, which led to changes in the ground threatening to destroy buildings. After the factory was closed, his buildings were fenced and abandoned. Several ceilings in the cement plant collapsed, other structural fragments hang loosely from the walls. This picturesque object is often used by photographers. You can see here, first of all, magnificent reinforced concrete tanks and silos of impressive size, which can be entered through openings that used to be used by renovation crews. Of course, due to the instability of the structure, care must be taken and stock up properly. There have already been many ideas for the development of the object, but there is a lack of money for their implementation.
