The remains of the rolling mill in Nietulisko Duży are more associated with the ruins of a classicist palace than an industrial plant.

Harmony and order are also manifested in the place chosen for the construction of the rolling mill. In the ideas of 19th-century designers, it was to be the last link in a larger industrial complex, whose axis was to be marked by the Kamienna River. It was the most hard-working Polish river that was to be the main driving force and transport channel of the entire establishment. The location of individual industrial plants along Kamienna Street reflects the iron production process. The construction of the plant in Nietulisko was completed in the 1840s.

It was equipped with 40 pairs of rollers, a water wheel with a diameter of 10 meters and other necessary tools. In its heyday, the plant was one of the largest in the region. He gave employment to 150 inhabitants of nearby towns. Even after many years, when the plant ceased its operation after the great flood in 1903, it impresses with the harmony of shapes and the care with which the local sandstone walls were erected.
