Centre historique minier, Lewarde
Centre historique minier, Lewarde, Mining museum in Lewarde, France
The Centre Historique Minier presents underground galleries, machinery, and mining equipment across multiple buildings of the former Delloye colliery complex.
The museum occupies the site of a coal mine that operated from 1720 until 1971, when production ceased due to economic changes in the French mining sector.
The museum includes reconstructed miners' homes and a bathhouse displaying work clothes, documenting the daily routines of mining families in northern France.
Visitors can join guided tours through the mining circuit from 9 AM to 5 PM daily, with extended hours until 7 PM during specific periods.
The museum features simulated mine shaft descents and allows visitors to wear safety helmets while exploring reconstructed extraction tunnels from different periods.
