Fosse Sabatier, Coal mine complex in Raismes, France

The Fosse Sabatier features a preserved headframe with two platforms supporting six-meter diameter wheels above its second mining shaft.

The mine operated from 1912 to 1980, producing over 21 million tons of coal before its installations were dismantled in 1986.

The mining complex included housing developments, schools, a church, and a cemetery, forming a complete industrial community in Nord-Pas-de-Calais.

Visitors can explore the site through landscaped walking paths and water gardens that surround the preserved mining structure.

The headframe acquired its current form in 1951 when it was transferred from the Clarence site of Bruay-Auchel Group to Fosse Sabatier.
