The Fond-de-Gras site is an open-air museum dedicated to the Luxembourg history of iron ore mining which has resulted, among other things, in the development of the railway.



Accessible by Train 1900 and its historic locomotives (departure after the 1900 train, der Père de la Pétange) or by voice after Niederkorn, Fond-de-Gras visits at its own pace.



Historical, technical infrastructure and informative information panels on industrial activities that took place here at the end of the 19th century.



The Fond-de-Gras site is a small valley whose flanks were formed by numerous mining galleries. A railway line linked this valley to the town of Pétange. This is due to the fact that the Fond-de-Gras mining site is located in the heart of Luxembourg, Belgium and Germany.



After Fond-de-Gras, it is located in the village of Lasauvage thanks to the mining company "Minièresbunn".



Among the main historical infrastructures present in Fond-de-Gras, we can cite: miners' accommodation, the former Victor Binck grocery store, the former Paul Wurth power station, an impressive rolling train, a Bessemer converter, several old entrances mines, an extensive rail network, a station and rail sheds.
