The sulfur deposit was discovered in the steep slopes of the Nida River within the sulphur-bearing, cavernous limestones of Miocene (Tortonian) age in the 18th century. Exploited in 4 stages (vide Krajewski 1935):
- Radziwiłł period 1795-1849; from open pit methods to a gradual transition to underground mining with shafts and small adits
- J. Hempel period 1869-1883; professional mining and drilling methods, beginnings of refined sulfur production
- Russian period 1894-1901; a company of various shareholders was formed, the main of which was General Ochotnikov. Mining carried out using underground methods towards the outskirts of previously exploited parts of the deposit. Installation of Gill's 4-chamber furnaces
- - Austrian period 1915-1918; exploitation of the remains of the deposit until encountering too serious problems with water.
