The colliery in Beringen, be-MINE, is Flanders' best-preserved and largest industrial heritage site. At the foot of two slag heaps, the past is brought together with a completely new interpretation of the area.
Back to the past
Learn more about the history of the mines in the Mine Museum and go underground to experience how it felt working in the mine. On Mining Sundays, you can visit a number of buildings that are normally closed to the public, such as the bathing hall with rows and rows of showers, or the wage room, where miners went to collect their pay.
