LRM redevelops former
Limburg mining sites.

In addition to corporate investments and dividends, LRM has left an enduring mark on Limburg through the transformation of former mining sites in Eisden, Beringen, and Waterschei.

Terhills in Eisden is among the most impressive and sustainable reconversion projects, drawing over one million visitors to this international tourist destination annually.

At be-MINE in Beringen, Europe’s largest industrial heritage site, LRM owns 49 percent alongside Ciril and Van Roey Vastgoed. Together, they are transforming a former industrial landscape into a vibrant green space that prioritizes biodiversity. Urban functions like living, working, shopping, sports, and recreation are seamlessly integrated at be-MINE. The work is still ongoing, but the site has already become a tourist and leisure hotspot, attracting 1.8 million visitors a year.

Meanwhile, the old Waterschei mine site has been transformed into Thor Park, which LRM is developing in collaboration with the City of Genk, KU Leuven, Energyville, and POM Limburg. Alongside renowned research institutions, the park hosts start-ups, growth companies, and global players with a focus on energy, advanced manufacturing, and smart city applications.

In this way, Limburg’s once coal-black mining past is being turned into fertile ground for economic growth.

Terhills

Once a mining and gravel extraction site, Terhills has been repurposed and redeveloped by LRM into a leisure ecosystem with a luxurious resort with 250 cottages operated by Center Parcs. Based in Limburg province, it also serves as a gateway to the Hoge Kempen National Park and offers a wide range of other amenities, including a hotel, wellness center and shops.

Thanks to the strategic presence of these on-site partners, Terhills Resort attracts numerous international visitors each year. Since opening in May 2021, the Terhills Resort has welcomed more than 400,000 guests, accounting for 1.5 million overnight stays. In 2026, Terhills Resort has been sold by LRM to TwentyTwo Real Estate.

Mining Heritage

LRM is the heir of the former Limburg mining sites and manages the remaining mining heritage. Today, these places are no longer extracting underground resources but rather shaping the future.

LRM not only manages the remaining mining heritage but also provides care for all aspects related to the mines. This includes managing the pension fund for miners and pumping surface water.

By pumping surface water (not drinking or mining water) that cannot find its natural course due to subsidence in former mining areas, LRM prevents flooding in those areas. The water is then directed towards the canal.
