The Palace in Nakło Śląskie
The first palace in Nakło Śląskie not far from Tarnowskie Góry was built by Hugo von Donnersmarck of the Bytom-Siemianowice lineage of this wealthy, Catholic family in 1856. The form of the present-day neo-Gothic residence results from the renovation carried out by Lazarus IV von Donnermarck in 1890s. The palace houses the Centrum Kultury Śląskiej (Silesian Culture Center) which presents the historical exhibition. The park with surrounding outbuildings is also worth seeing.

Apart from the summer palace of the
Donnersmarcks of the Nakło and Siemianowice
line, we can find an interesting church of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus and the adjacent mausoleum
of the Donnersmarck family. They also founded
here a nursing home run by the Sisters of Mercy of
St Borromeo. The church is a unique, brick
building, built in the late nineteenth century in the
neo-Romanesque style with some Byzantine
elements.
Camillians Fathers were brought to Upper Silesia
in the early twentieth century to fight the
rampant scourge of alcoholism. They settled in
Tarnowskie Góry, where they built Saint John’s
Infirmary, intended to the treatment of alcohol
dependence. In addition to the hospital, the
cloister and the church of Saint John the Baptist
were erected. All the buildings form a compact
complex, decorated in the neo-Gothic style.
In the interwar period, Tarnowskie Góry became the biggest railway node in Poland. It was just from here that coal, the main important export commodity of the Polish state, was sent into the world. However, the history of rail transport in Tarnowskie Góry dates back to the 1850s. In 1888, a new train station building was opened here, which was designed by Robert Hönsch, an architect from Wrocław, in the neo-Renaissance style.

The Main Post Office in Tarnowskie Góry is
housed in one of the largest buildings of the
city, erected in 1909 according to the design
of Hane, a Berlin architect, at the one of the
finest streets of the city, now bearing the
name of Marshal Piłsudski. The building was
erected in a fairly rapid pace. Its architecture
combines elements of Art Nouveau and neoBaroque. To this day, it has retained some
interior decorations. It was listed as a
monument in 1996.
