Le Grand Hornu

The former mining complex is a reflection of 19th-century industry an hour from Brussels and is the result of a real urban project. The remarkable complex was built in neoclassical style and includes the industrial mining complex, the working-class district and the homes of the administrators. Le Grand Hornu is recognized as an exceptional heritage of Wallonia and actively participates in international protection programs.
