The brick building, built in the Maasland style with its elegant bell tower and representative external staircase, was the administrative heart of the municipality for generations. A banner for art exhibitions ("EXPO") can be seen on the facade. Under the name "Blegny en Art", the local cultural department regularly organizes free monthly rotating exhibitions of regional artists in this historic setting.

The Blegny Mine (Rue Lambert Marlet 23, Blegny) is one of Belgium's most important industrial monuments and was included in July 2012 as part of the four great Walloon mining sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Directly at the Place Sainte-Gertrude (next to the church of the same name) lies the historic Ancienne halle de justice et hôtel de ville. This old courthouse and town hall building shapes the historical image of the market square and is still used today for festive occasions such as weddings. The historic building in the town center presents itself in the typical regional style of the province of Liège, built from traditional brick with characteristic limestone elements. The actual, active administration (Administration communale) is located a bit further south at Rue Troisfontaines 11. It is a functional, contemporary administrative building with glass facades that houses the municipality's citizen services.

Beautiful surroundings and a visit to the mine is definitely worth it. There is a nice little restaurant and playground for the children, and you can also take a tour of the mine.
