The station was put into use in 1884. The elements of the water supply infrastructure have survived to this day, including three machine halls with build-on installations for supplying the pipeline with water (steam-operated in the past, latterly operated by electricity) The installations were used for pumping underground waters to the surface and transporting them to Królewska Huta (present day Chorzów) via the system of pipelines. The overground features numerous valuable buildings, including the Adolph and Machine Shafts, which provide access to the plant’s underground, as well as a boiler house with last existing boiler, a workshop and a building serving as a transformer station. The complex is surrounded by a brick wall and includes the relics of the old narrow- gauge railway siding.
