Attractions and Places To See around Mysłowice - Top 19

Monumental, late Baroque church of St. Clement from the years 1769–1772, rising to the top of Klimont Hill (302–305 m a.s.l.). It is the most famous symbol of Lędziny, visible even in the city's coat of arms. The temple stands on the site of former wooden churches (the oldest from the 12th century), and the hill itself was a pre-Christian place of Slavic worship (the so-called Górka Piorunowa). The approach to the church leads along a characteristic, paved avenue (Czesława Miłosza Street). From the top, there is a phenomenal, open panorama – with good visibility, you can admire the beautiful line of the Beskids from here. A must-see point of every trip around the Bieruń-Lędziny district!

It's worth slowing down and looking at the architecture! 🏡🚴‍♂️As you pass through this place, it's worth slowing down for a moment. The Finnish houses are a piece of post-war Upper Silesian history. Pay attention to the characteristic, simple construction of the buildings and how charmingly they line the road. For cyclists: The street is quiet, car traffic is minimal here, and the surface allows for a very smooth ride. This is a great, atmospheric, and safe section for a leisurely ride, away from busy transit routes. An ideal place to catch your breath and take an interesting, unconventional photo from the route!

Finnish houses are a unique historical and architectural curiosity. This type of workers' colony emerged in Upper Silesia immediately after World War II (from the late 1940s). They were prefabricated wooden single-family houses imported from Finland in exchange for Polish coal deliveries. They were intended to serve as temporary housing for miners working in local mines, and have survived to this day, creating incredibly atmospheric settlements with a specific layout.

The monument commemorating the oath is located in the middle of the Kosztowski Forest, near the viaduct at the entrance to Imielin from the Mysłowice side.

An unusual memorial site hidden deep in the forest thicket. Here stands a commemorative obelisk with the inscription: 'Oath site of the Silesian Insurgents, Imielin Group'. Why did the monument stand in the middle of the forest? It was here, on the night of August 17, 1919, at 10:00 PM, shortly after the outbreak of the First Silesian Uprising, that a detachment of about 100 local insurgents took a solemn oath to their commander, Szczepan Malorny. Weapons for them had been secretly brought in earlier from Oświęcim via Wola. The obelisk was restored in 1995. It is worth deviating from the forest path for a moment, stopping by it in silence, and feeling the spirit of those mysterious, nocturnal events from over a century ago.

One of a few surviving Finnish house settlements. The settlement was built in the 1940s for employees of the local "Ziemowit" mine. A couple of houses have retained their practically original condition and appearance.

At the entrance gate to the „Ziemowit” Hard Coal Mine in Lędziny (at ul. Pokoju) stands a historic mine locomotive of the Ld-05 type (colloquially known as „Karlik”) as a monument. Here are the most important facts about this object: Symbolism: The locomotive, along with its wagons (so-called spoil wagons), is a symbol of the mining tradition of Lędziny and the mine itself, which is one of the largest mining facilities in Europe. Vehicle type: It is a classic narrow-gauge electric locomotive that served for decades to transport spoil and materials in underground workings.

Farski Square Today The pentagonal "market square," whose main attraction is the fountain, is bounded on the east by the existing historic former "parish" building (currently the seat of the Municipal Library), and on the west by the rebuilt and expanded parsonage "stables" with an added northern section, clock tower, and ground-level passage. In addition to the fountain, the square also features a pedestal with a cracked bell from St. Anne's Church, one of the oldest bells in the voivodeship.
