The ballroom in Wallers , a French commune in the Nord department in the Hauts-de-France region , was built in 1910 by the Compagnie des mines d'Anzin . In 2009, the ballroom was added to the list of listed buildings ( Base Mérimée ) in France as Monument historique .

The ballroom in the Quartier d'Arenberg miners' settlement has a hall with a floor plan of 24 by 28 meters. The brick building has a two-story arched portal that opens to the vestibule . There is a bar on the left and a library on the right. In the rear area, after the raised stage, there are rooms for the artists and the scenery.

In 1977 the mining company sold the ballroom to the municipality, which had it renovated under the direction of the architects Dodat et Villain . The inauguration took place in 1984.
