Puits Sainte-Pauline, Coal mine shaft in Champagney, France.
The Puits Sainte-Pauline reaches a depth of 546 meters with a rectangular section that transitions to a circular diameter of 3.5 meters below 180 meters.
Coal extraction at Puits Sainte-Pauline began in 1861, producing over 45,000 tons in its first year before permanent closure and backfilling in 1884.
The mining community included thirteen houses built between 1872 and 1873 to accommodate Alsatian workers following the Franco-German War of 1870.
A new information panel installed in 2017 provides visitors with details about the industrial history of Puits Sainte-Pauline and Sainte-Barbe mines.
The northern slag heap still contains thousands of cubic meters of shale, now covered by vegetation that has naturally reclaimed the industrial site.
