    The old boat lifts are located on the Canal de Historique.

    The old boat lifts of the Canal du Centre are impressive metal structures that transport ships to the uppermost section of the canal in four lifts. While one of the lifts is raised hydraulically, the other descends to the lower section of the canal. Built between 1882 and 1917, they are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since 2002, cargo ships have been passing through the new Strépy-Thieu lift.
