Mining site The Shaft Heusden-Zolder

In 1992, the last mine in the Benelux closed its doors in Zolder. Yet it was the first place where the listed buildings were given a new purpose. Together with the shaft tower, the Monnoyer chimney and the mortuary, they remain visible relics of the 'black gold'. The power station 'Watt 17' was skillfully restored. The multipurpose building 'De Verdieping' houses a passion school, the CVO and in the restored collection machine building you can visit the heritage walk ZLDR AIR FACTORY for free.
The Market Square comes alive every second and fourth Wednesday of the month during the multicultural market 'MijnMarkt'.
You can explore these buildings, the mine site and surroundings through the themed walks: Mine Architecture Walk, Terril Walk and Garden District Walk.
