*There are four hydraulic boat [[lifts on the old Canal du Centre]], which connects the river [[Meuse]] to the [[Scheldt]]. These double elevators date from around 1900 and were designated by [[UNESCO]] as a [[World Heritage Site]] in 1998.
*The housing complex that was built for the [[Bois-du-Luc]] coal workers during the first half of the 19th century has been restored. This is part of the [[Major Mining Sites of Wallonia]], designated by [[UNESCO]] as a [[World Heritage Site]] in 2012. One of those houses can be visited, together with a couple of museums retracing the history of the coal mining industry in the ''Centre'' region.
*La Louvière counts a number of chapels and churches that date from the 13th to the 16th century.
*La Louvière also has one of the best collection of [[Idel Ianchelevici]]’s works on display.
