PITHEAD :

Dating from early last century, the architectural ensemble, which was listed in 1990, contains three parallel groups of buildings proudly displaying their pediments. The two winding-wheels, which have been painstakingly restored, crown them with their majesty.

The surface installations, which form the pithead of the mine, enable people to understand the working of the mine and to follow, step by step, in the footsteps of the miners who worked there. A historical recollection of the functions of the buildings is given throughout an educational course in four languages (F, NL, I, GB).
