Located in the heart of the Hainaut countryside, the Abbey of Our Lady of Good Hope is steeped in history. Nine centuries old, the monument was occupied from the very beginning by religious leaders living in complete self-sufficiency. Listed as an exceptional heritage site in Wallonia, the primary and secondary education establishment is also a diocesan reception and retreat center for families, young people, and pilgrims. It is also a must-see for tourists and families who enjoy discovering the history of this abbey.

Here we find ourselves at a modern technical structure of almost unimaginable dimensions. This enormous facility – like probably every project of this magnitude – has two aspects: Some may be in awe of the engineering that made it possible to plan and build this gigantic structure at the end of the 20th century. Others may be more concerned with the enormous intervention in nature that was necessary to realize the project and may doubt its usefulness. However, such a conflict of interest is by no means only a sign of the times, for the monumental – some might prefer the term monstrous – structure is the modern descendant of a series of significantly smaller ship lifts that were built in earlier times – and have now even been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an industrial monument. Both the old facility and its modern successor are presented in a 15-minute feature (in German) in the series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity."

Lift No.4 on the old Canal du Centre at Le Roeulx is a beautifully preserved boat lift from the early 20th century, and a masterpiece of industrial architecture. Made from steel and sheet metal, this historic lift lifts boats between different water levels and remains an impressive sight in the landscape.
