One of the small ‘lower Sambre’-mines. The coal mine, with a concrete headstock, never produced big quantities of coal due to the fact that the earth layers in the ‘lower Sambre’-area aren’t that interesting for coal exploration.

In 1901 valuable coal was found in the earth layers of the area by André Dumont. In 1923 the ‘Charbonnage Limbourg-Meuse’ coal mine started operating. The mine got abandoned in 1987.
