Granite quarry

Geological object

Information

  • Address: 57-150 Górka Sobocka
Already in the Middle Ages, granite was extracted from the slopes of Górka (262 m AMSL) to be used later on in construction. The oldest Romanesque church in Górka, whose walls were built in the 12th century, gives just one evidence on the matter. At present, stone extracted here is to become grit for the production of high-quality concretes.
