Blegny-Mine, Coal mining museum in Blegny, Belgium.
The mine complex includes original mining buildings, industrial equipment, and two underground levels accessible through authentic mining shafts and galleries.
Coal extraction at Blegny-Mine began in the 16th century and continued until 1980, when it became one of the last operating mines in Belgium.
The mining site stands as a testament to generations of miners who worked in demanding conditions to extract coal that fueled European industrial development.
Guided tours depart regularly and take visitors 60 meters below ground to explore the tunnels and learn about coal extraction techniques.
The site maintains functional mining machinery from the 1980s, including the original coal washing plant and sorting facility at ground level.
