The 19th-century oil mine in Bóbrka has retained much of its authenticity due to the fact that it has been in continuous operation since 1854. The technical facilities have survived in excellent form, and, above all, the historical spatial and landscape layout remains. This is what makes the facility not only of national, but also international importance. Due to the continuity of extraction and its industrial form, the Bóbrka mine can be described as the world's oldest, oil extraction site and thus the cradle of the oil industry.
The history of oil production, processing and use is centuries old. Of course, the kerosene lamp, fractional distillation yielding kerosene of unprecedented purity, industrial extraction of oil, including from beneath the seabed, purification, and pipeline transmission of natural gas, led to the explosion (sic!) of the oil industry, transportation energy, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and many other fields.
