Industrial heritage

The Hlubina mine was a deep coal mine founded by Salomon Mayer Rothschild (1774-1855) in 1852 close to the blast furnaces of the Vitkovice ironworks.

The whole area of Vitkovice ironworks with blast furnaces, coking plant and the Hlubina mine is no longer operational and it was declared a National Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic in 2002 for its extraordinary historical value.
