A small town, La Louvière is famous for its canals and elevators.
A small town in the 19th century, it benefited from meteoric growth when the region, in the center of Belgium, was favored with a good network of roads and canals for coal mining.
Today coal has been abandoned, but the city maintains the dynamics and quality achieved in the good old days.
Highlights at La Louviere:
The canal lifts and the former industrial complex of Bois du Lac have earned UNESCO recognition.
