Senje Mine

The Senje colliery is the oldest coal mine in Serbia, the first shaft having been sunk in 1853. The current main shaft was completed in c1927 and is 175 metres deep. The headgear dates from the sinking of this shaft which is used for winding men and materials. It is operated by a steam winding engine built in 1878 and relocated here from a mine at Vrdnik.
