Filove

Welcome to our szrank – the original shop with souvenirs and handicraft from Nikiszowiec and Upper Silesia, located at the Zimbardo Centre (Centrum Zimbardo).
Nikiszowiec has grown from an ordinary (though at the same time quite extraordinary) housing estate into a cult place, hugely popular with Polish and foreign tourists alike. That is why we opened our szrank, which in Silesian means a wardrobe. In our szrank you will find objects designed and made by local artists, among others, and by well-known Silesian brands. Some of the souvenirs can be bought only here. We offer original, often handmade items such as magnets, coasters, mugs, jewellery and cosmetics made of coal, books on Silesian and industrial subjects, calendars, keyrings and much more. You can also buy T-shirts and bags with unique Nikiszowiec and Silesian motifs, as well as postcards and greeting cards.
The szrank is located inside the Zimbardo Centre (and sometimes right in front of its entrance) – a meeting place for the residents. But we also work with tourists in mind. We provide them with information materials, maps and leaflets free of charge. We also offer guidebooks and publications about the estate and the district, as well as the chance to discover the place with a real local guide. We are open 7 days a week in order to support our Association's retail brand, FILove, thanks to which we can help finance the Zimbardo Centre. We do it also to support the development and promotion of Nikiszowiec, which we have been working on for years. The shop's opening hours change with the season.
