Puits Saint-Pierre
The "Saint-Pierre" shaft was sunk in 1833-1834. Until 1898, coal could be mined without interruption. In this year, a shutdown took place for several years until 1906. The final closure took place in 1933 and one year later the shaft was backfilled. The later opencast mine also "swallowed" the old shaft and today there is a lake at the old location.
