Former Levant Colliery

The Levant Company of Flénu was one of the first Belgian companies to be listed on the Brussels Stock Exchange in the mid nineteenth century. In the late 1850s, shares returned a dividend of 29%. Today, the site of the Levant is private property used for leisure, where the public have access on Wednesday afternoons, on the weekends, and by appointment. The top of the 'terril' provides an exceptional view over Mons and the Borinage region.
