Oranje Nassau I

The Oranje Nassau I was a Dutch coal mine located in Heerlen. The mine was in operation from 1899 until 1974.

The Oranje Nassau I was the oldest and second largest of the four Oranje Nassau Mijnen-mines. Close to the mine there were several coal washing plants and a large electric power station. The mine dominated the skyline of Heerlen with its two tall chimneys nicknamed "Lange Jan" and "Lange Lies".

In Modern Culture

  • The Oranje Nassau I chimneys appear in the Zoetwaren Broadcast of the television in the video game People Playground.
