One of eight former industrial sites now included under the umbrella of the Westphalian Industrial Museum, the Zollern Colliery is a disused coal mine famous for its stunning architecture, particularly the redbrick façades of its main buildings.
The best of these is the Machine Hall, built in 1904, with one of the most stunning Art Nouveau entrances in Germany.
Along with its tall steel structures, highlights include exhibits detailing the conditions faced by workers, as well as numerous artifacts and machinery (English language guided tours are available).
