Vrbice wind pit in Ostrava

You can see that even a hole in the ground, such as a mine, is not just an industrial object where the aesthetic level does not matter at the Vrbice wind pit.

Built in the early twentieth century by the Ferdinand Northern Railway, the building is a cultural monument and is seeking to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Not only the machinery, such as the giant compressors used to blow air into the mine, the massive electric motors and the mining equipment have been preserved. The brick and steel construction of the shaft itself is an eye-catcher. Today the site is closed and work is underway to save this precious industrial site.
