Here, imagination and innovation come together in the past, the present and the future. Two great projects that highlight artistic and scientific creation originated from the industrial ruins from former Borinage mining sites.
These stone and steel giants are the architectural testimony of the Borinage's golden age and have preserved their industrious spirit.
