The Beringen mine site comprises 100,000 m² of existing building patrimony. This makes it the largest industrial heritage site in Flanders and unique in Europe. Of all other mining sites in Limburg, it is the only site where the industrial heart of the mine was kept.

Under the denominator be-MINE, the site is now being reallocated as a tourist-recreational project. Urban functions such as living, working and shopping are intertwined with each other. With the master plan for the redevelopment of 32 hectares of mine site, the historic location will be given a worthy, valuable and contemporary interpretation.
