The house of the Larisch-Mönnich workers’ colony (No. 1423) was part of the housing for coal industry workers in Doly, on the site of the vanished mining town of Karvinná. The colony consisted of several houses (Nos. 1412 and 1423–1426) and today recalls the former buildings of the mining town.
The colony’s origins were closely linked to the transformation of the area. At the beginning of the 19th century Karvín was a farming village known above all for sheep breeding. After 1850, however, the companies of the Larisch-Mönnich family and the Cieszyn Chamber began deep coal mining. The industrial boom caused a sharp rise in population. This led to the construction of new infrastructure, including shops, schools, baths and workers’ colonies, to which this house belonged.
The colony was built for the needs of mining and provided housing for workers in the growing industrial centre.
The colony bore the name of the Larisch-Mönnich family, whose companies mined coal in Karviná. The fate of the house in the 20th century was fundamentally shaped by intensive coal mining. As early as the 1930s, buildings were cracking because of ground subsidence. After the communist coup of February 1948, it was decided to clear the old buildings and relocate the town. In the 1950s demolition began because of mining subsidence; the colony no longer stands today.
The disappearance of the house is part of the wider process by which the town of Karvinná vanished; in 1930 it had 20,833 inhabitants. Today the Doly area is described as a post-industrial landscape. Nearby are the Church of Saint Peter of Alcantara, known as the Leaning Church, the Protestant cemetery with a chapel from 1906, and the Karviná-Doly freight station.
The building can no longer be seen, as it was demolished. Even so, the place remains significant as a reminder of the region’s industrial history and the radical transformation of the landscape. Visiting the surroundings in Doly helps you understand the impact of mining on human settlement.

Welcome! You are at the place where the Larisch-Mönnich workers’ colony once stood, specifically house No. 1423, which once housed coal industry workers in Karviná. The colony no longer stands, like most of the houses of the original mining town of Karvinná. The atmosphere feels somewhat melancholy, but it is precisely this mood that has brought you here to explore the place.
Let us dive into its history. This house belonged to a workers’ colony that bore the name of the Larisch-Mönnich family. After 1850 the companies of this family and of the Cieszyn Chamber began mining black coal in deep mines, which led to the rapid development of local villages such as Darkov, Fryštát, Karvinná and Ráj. At the turn of 1948 and 1949 these municipalities were merged into a single town of Karviná.
Houses like this one were built with the needs of coal miners in mind. Mining families lived in them, and the growing town of Karvinná also built shops, schools and baths for them.
The Karviná mines were owned by the companies of the Larisch-Mönnich family and the Cieszyn Chamber. The Larisch-Mönnich family was deeply involved in the mining industry in this area, which had a fundamental impact on its development and history.
What makes this place remarkable is its transformation. As early as the 1930s, houses were cracking because of ground subsidence caused by coal mining, a foretaste of what happened in the 1950s. At that time demolition of the buildings began because of mining subsidence, and the area turned into a post-industrial landscape.
Now that you have learned a little about the history of this place, consider exploring other parts of Doly. Every lane and every empty space has its own stories to tell. If you liked this place, do not hesitate to explore other sights nearby, above all the Leaning Church.
Thank you for your visit, and we hope this guide has inspired you to discover the history around you. Have a good journey!
