Information
Chełm's chalk undergrounds (old chalk mine) are a unique structure of historical interest on a national and even European scale. A labyrinth of mysterious galleries came into being as a result of the exploitation of rich chalk deposits which lie under the surface of the city. Underground corridors also came into existence on Chełm Hill, mainly for defensive purposes. The first pits started to operate in the Middle Ages and brought considerable profits to the inhabitants of Chełm, who used to send consignments of chalk even to faraway cities. They also served the inhabitants as shelters during raids, wars and pillage.
