Fosse Arenberg, Historic coal mine in Wallers, France.

The Arenberg mining complex features three pit heads, with the third shaft reaching a height of 60 meters and displaying industrial engineering methods.

Established in 1900 by the Anzin Mining Company, the site operated until 1989, extracting over 31 million tons of coal throughout its operational period.

The mining site represents the industrial heritage of Nord-Pas de Calais, demonstrating the technical evolution of coal extraction methods through preserved machinery and structures.

The facility offers guided tours through multiple buildings, including machine rooms, administrative offices, and underground galleries that showcase mining operations.

The former mining complex now functions as Arenberg Creative Mine, housing television studios and film production facilities within its industrial structures.
