A mining estate located in the south of Katowice, on the Industrial Monuments Route, an industrial tourist route. From January 14, 2011, recognized by ROZ as a Historical Monument. Nikiszowiec also won fourth place in 2011 in the plebiscite of the New 7 Wonders of Poland, organized by the "National Geographic Traveler". The estate was designed by the brothers Zillmann, Georg and Emil. It was established in the years 1908-1919 and 1920-1924. Erected next to the Nikisz shaft, which belonged to the "Giesche" mine (now KWK Wieczorek). The approval for the construction of the estate was given by the County Department on December 17, 1908, with the reservation that the newly built estate was to have full infrastructure; a Catholic church, schools, roads and a sewage system were to be built.
In the area of Nikiszowiec there is also the Wilson Shaft Gallery, the beginnings of which date back to 1826. At that time, there was a mining company, which consisted of two shafts (from 1935 their names were Wilson and Wilson II), Bathhouse, Cechownia, Zakład Przeróbczy , Headquarters and Sorting. There was also one of the stops of the "Balkan" railway, which served in the years 1920-1977 as a free means of passenger and goods transport. Currently, there is an exhibition space for the Wilson Shaft Gallery, established in 1998, which consists of: Mała Galeria, Medium and Large Gallery.
The estate appears in one of the films of K. Kutz's Silesian triptych "Salt of the Black Earth".

denies do ominięcia.
tutaj jak na dłoni widać jak kiedyś wyglądał Śląsk a bardziej jak wyglądało życie tutejszych mieszkańców, jak organizowane było tu życie wokół kopalni, kawał historii.

Nikiszowiec is a former mining district of Katowice, quite well kept and maintained. This district reflects in a wonderful way how the families of miners lived in the pre-war era. a glance at the layout of the buildings is enough to realize this.
