Minett Park Fond-de-Gras, Heritage railway museum and industrial site in Pétange, Luxembourg.
The Minett Park Fond-de-Gras extends across a valley containing preserved mining structures, railway facilities, and an electric power station from Luxembourg's industrial era.
Iron ore extraction in Fond-de-Gras continued until 1955, followed by a complete halt of railway operations in 1964 due to a significant landslide.
The Train 1900 steam locomotive service recreates authentic early 20th-century journeys between Pétange and Fond-de-Gras, demonstrating historical transportation methods.
The park operates from May through September, offering free access to industrial structures while train rides and guided tours require separate tickets.
Visitors can explore underground mining tunnels aboard the Minièresbunn train, which travels through former iron ore extraction sites to the village of Lasauvage.
