In Anzin, the Dampierre château recalls a lesser-known chapter of the mining history of northern France: it was built in the late 19th century by the Compagnie des mines d'Anzin to house its company directors. The neo-Renaissance facade bears ornamentation drawing on both mining imagery and the arts, a combination that gives the building its particular character. Inside, the central vestibule, staircase and marble marquetry floor of the entrance are among the notable features. The surrounding park, together with the access drive and its gatekeeper's lodge, form part of the protected ensemble.
