Welcome
Close to the former shaft of Staatsmijn Hendrik, in the charming town of Brunssum, you will find our B&B Mijn-werkje. The accommodation is ideally located between the lively town center and the beautiful natural area of the Brunssummerheide. In addition, it is situated along a main road towards Landgraaf and Kerkrade, making the entire South Limburg region easily accessible.
At the beginning of 2022, we decided to create a B&B to allow others to enjoy this wonderful area as well as Brunssum’s rich mining heritage. Since then, we have had the pleasure of welcoming many satisfied guests, which makes us very proud. On Airbnb, we are rated 4.8.

History state mine Hendrik
Brunssum and other parts of South Limburg derive their character largely from the mining history of this region. The Hendrik State Mine was a coal mine in Brunssum. It was built at this location because it was where the coal basin was located. Between 1915 and 1963, mainly gas-rich fatty coal was produced here. This was processed into 'coke', fuel for industrial use. More than 61 million tons Coal was brought up in this State Mine. The State Mine had four shafts, through which miners were brought underground to great depths. Shaft IV was the deepest shaft in the Netherlands. In 1963 the Hendrik became the Emma-Hendrik group and therefore the work down there stopped to become the new AFCENT headquarters in 1967.
