Sosnowiec

Sosnowiec sits on the Black Przemsza in Poland’s Silesian Voivodeship, where former mining and manufacturing towns merge into the Upper Silesian–Zagłębie Metropolis. The city developed rapidly through coal mining, railways and textile production, receiving municipal rights in 1902. Its industrial-era identity endures at Schön Palace, built for a textile-owning family and now housing the Sosnowiec Museum. At the Three Emperors’ Corner, the Black and White Przemsza meet at a point that marked the borders of Prussia, Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire from 1846 to 1915.
