C-Mine, Cultural and recreation center in Genk, Belgium

The C-Mine complex encompasses renovated industrial buildings from a former coal mine, including two prominent shaft towers with underground tunnels and viewing platforms.

The Winterslag coal mine, which operated from 1914 to 1988, underwent transformation in 2001 when the city of Genk purchased the site for cultural redevelopment.

The facility houses the Luca School of Arts, multiple theater spaces, exhibition areas, and creative industry offices that support artistic development and education.

The main site remains open daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with specific attractions requiring separate admission fees and advance reservations for guided tours.

Visitors can explore an underground architectural experience through mining tunnels that connect to elevated viewing platforms in the original shaft towers.
