Fosse La Sentinelle, Coal mine and historical monument in La Sentinelle, France.
The mine features brick structures with facades that showcase industrial architecture from the early 19th century coal mining period in northern France.
Established in 1818, the mine operated until 1830, when the Compagnie des Mines d'Anzin ceased extraction activities at a depth of 170 meters.
The transformation of the mining facility into a church in 1854 represents the changes in industrial communities during the 19th century.
The site encompasses multiple streets including rue de Maubeuge, rue du Cateau, and rue d'Avesnes, with regular inspections by geological authorities.
At 55 meters elevation, the extraction shaft reached coal-bearing strata at 64 meters, leading to the development of worker housing estates.
