In 1856 mining started here.
Over the years, more shafts were built.
The coal extracted here is used mainly in the company's own steel mills.
In the middle of the fifties, extensive modernization was carried out and a new shaft was drilled.
Coal was mined here until 1986, before the pit was shut down.
Part of the infrastructure was used for other pits of the company until 1986.
The large industrial family, which owned this pit, was very present in the French heavy industry and also engaged abroad.
The family can look back on more than 300 years of industrial tradition.
