A remarkable malakow tower has been constructed in 1907 above shaft nr. 1, which was 170 m deep. The buildings nearby house the baths and offices. The winding tower of shaft nr. 2 (depth 313 m), a steel construction dated 1923, is no longer preserved. Shaft nr. 3, with 480 m the deepest one at Hasard Cheratte, was intended to be worked by a tower-type winder, but finally the tower has been converted into a headgear with diagonal brace and a flat rope winding engine. 'Puits Hognée', the shaft on the hill behind the mine, has been used to lift waste material to a spoil tip. The adit is still visible just nearby the capped shaft nr. 1 underneath the malakow tower. The mine is a sleeping beauty since it's closure in 1977.
