Roundhouse

The curved building contains nineteen locomotive stalls. Each has its own track, and the radiating rails are connected by a turntable. The shape of the building follows the route a locomotive took between the sidings and its stall. Workshop and servicing rooms were added during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.

As early as 1917, electrification of the line from Świebodzice to Jaworzyna Śląska created a need for facilities to service electric locomotives. Technical rooms were added to the depot for that purpose. The buildings survived the Second World War intact, but the Red Army dismantled the equipment used for electric traction. After the war, only steam locomotives were based here.

Diesel locomotives joined them in 1988. In 2004, after the complex had passed to the local authority, Piotr Gerber leased it and established the private Museum of Industry and Railways in Silesia. The former locomotive servicing depot became a museum with its surviving rolling stock and equipment.
