The Communal Hall in Mikulczyce

Mikulczyce was mentioned at the beginning of the fourteenth century as Mikulczicz and, later as Niculticz. For a long time, it was an independent village until the 50s of the twentieth century, when it became a district of Zabrze. Industrial development took place with the acquistion of the village by the von Donnersmarck in the first half of the nineteenth century. A Lutheran church was built in less than two months in 1937, using environmentally friendly solutions from Scandinavia.

In Mikulczyce, a district of Zabrze, it is worthwhile to see as many as three historic churches: a wooden Protestant church and two Roman Catholic ones. One of the Catholic churches is dedicated to Saint Teresa and the other to Saint Lawrence. The latter was built in the neo-Gothic style in the late nineteenth century. It was designed by Paul Jackisch, an eminent architect from Bytom. The new church replaced an old, wooden one, which had served the faithful for hundreds of years.

The manor house in Mikulczyce, also called the New Manor, is presently closed to the public and, unfortunately, now, heavily vandalized. The building, dating from the late eighteenth century, was erected when the local property owners were Barons Doleczkowie. For quite a long time, from 1830 until the Second World War, the mansion itself together with the farm homestead was in the hands of the powerful Silesian family of von Donnersmarck.

The John West Ranch in Zabrze is one of the few equestrian centres specializing in horse riding in the Western style. The stable is located in Rokitnica, a northern district of the city. Its traditions go back to the second half of the 1980s. The centre offers recreational riding for children and adults, stayin in a boarding house or a possibility of buying a horse. The so-called “ Cowboy Days on the Ranch” organized by the stable are a very interesting event.

In the nineteenth century, Rokitnica was already a large, industrial settlement, which was part of Count von Ballestrem’s property. Count was the owner, among others, of the mines "Castellengo" ("Rokitnica") and "Abwehr" ("Mikulczyce '). In the early decades of the twentieth century, Count took a special care of the miners working for him and built a housing estate „Stara Rokitnica”. It resembles a well-kept village with houses for four and eight families, next to which a school, a pharmacy and other public facilities were built.

The resort is an integral part of the Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer of the Silesian University.
