Oranje Nassau II

The Oranje Nassau II was a Dutch coal mine located in Schaesberg.

When the first coal was extracted in 1904, high production levels were not yet achieved.

The mine was not connected to the railroad and the coal had to be hauled to the Schaesberg station by horse and carriage.

In 1906 the mine was in full production as the railways to Heerlen were finished.

Until its closure, a total of 34,065,000 tons of coal were brought to the surface.
