Address

Location
woj. opolskie, pow. krapkowicki, gm. Gogolin - obszar wiejski

The village of Górażdże is home to there sets of lime kilns of different types: the oldest (1858), hexagonal kiln is located at a dirt road to Malnia; a battery of two double kiln in rectangular housings (1860) are placed on the premises of the operating plant in Górażdże and two kilns on a circular plan described below and entered in the register of monuments.

They are the reminders of the former glory of the lime industry in the Opole region.

History

The kilns date from 1823. However, based on their structure and form, the period of construction is more likely to be the 1870s. The differences in the upper sections of both kilns suggest that the south kiln (perhaps younger) was originally lower and later raised up to the height of the other kiln. At the end of the 19th century, the kilns were owned by Schlesische Kalk- u. Cementindustrie AG and, since 1934, by Ost u. Mitteldeutsche Zement und Kalk Industrie Werk Gorazdze. They were decommissioned in 1981.

Description

The two sister kilns are located on the edge of the village of Górażdże, about 300 m northwest of its centre, near the railway tracks. The kilns are separated from Dworcowa Street by residential buildings and a stone wall with a passage.

They are built on a circular plan, tapered towards the top braced with steel belts. Each kiln is supported by six buttresses, lower by the south kiln. Inside the kiln, there was a cylindrical fire passage where the limestone calcination process took place. At the lowest level of the kilns, there are maintenance holes closed with a full arch, distributed symmetrically and alternated with three narrower ventilation openings. They exhibit the remnants of steel gates and discharge trays. By the kilns, there are some traces of a narrow-gauge railroad. In the upper part, the kilns are connected by a steel footbridge. A vertical lift transporting trolleys filled with limestone and coal to the level of the footbridge has not survived.

The kilns are approx. 15-16 m high, built of stone (outer shell) with firebrick on the inside. Local chips and holes were repaired with brick or concrete. The original brick chimneys were replaced after 1959 with steel structures and have not survived until today.

The monument is available to visitors.
