Triage-Lavoir de Péronnes, Coal washing facility in Péronnes-lez-Binche, Belgium
The concrete structure spans 7,500 square meters with multiple levels connected by intertwined stairs and features numerous concrete pillars throughout the building.
Built with Marshall Plan funding in 1954, the facility processed 3,000 tons of coal daily from Péronnes, Ressaix, and Trivières mines until its closure in 1969.
The facility represents Belgian industrial heritage and received monument status in 2003, preventing its demolition and preserving its architectural significance.
The structure stands empty without machinery, and renovation projects started in 2006 with a budget of 50 million euros from the Walloon Region.
The building is planned to house an underground museum for The General Archives of the Royalty and the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Belgium.
