In 1992, the last mine in the Benelux closed its doors in Zolder. However, it was the first place where the protected buildings were given a new purpose. Together with the shaft tower, the Monnoyer chimney and the mortuary, they remain visible relics of the 'black gold'. The power station 'Watt 17' was expertly restored. The multifunctional building 'De Verdieping' houses a passive school, the CVO and in the restored winding machine building you can visit the heritage walk ZLDR AIR FACTORY for free. The Market Square comes to life every second and fourth Wednesday of the month during the multicultural market 'MijnMarkt'.
