Důl Oderka Mine
Důl Oderka is a site of a former stone coal mine in Ostrava, specifically in the city area Přívoz. It was founded in 1907 and the operation ended in 1968. Today this site is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
This building, located in the Ostrava-město district in the Moravian-Silesian Region, was founded by Marie Anna Mining. This is where the coal mining began.
The construction equipment of the complex included operating buildings. They are preserved as cultural monuments of the machinery room, administrative building and concierge. In the area there was also a pit building with workshops and bathrooms which was demolished around 2000.
The owner and founder were Marie Anne's Mining. The operation lasted until 1968 when the mining was completed. After the operation was stopped, most of the surface facilities were destroyed, while only the mentioned monuments were preserved.
The monument is located at Oderská 768 / 50 in Ostrava. The current state of the complex reflects the gradual disposal of industrial areas, while preserved buildings are a testament to the history of local mining.

Look up at the facade of the object. Even without well-known architects, there is an obvious functionality that characterized the mining structures of that time. You see large wooden structures and steel curtains that once protected access to the mine. These elements can help you imagine how the working environment was here.

Let's move closer and notice the details that tell us about the miners' environment. Even though the door is closed and we won't be able to get in, the atmosphere here is still engaging.
