La maison aux avions de Steenwerck, Art house displaying aircraft sculptures in Steenwerck, France.

The exterior of the house features numerous metal sculptures constructed from recycled materials, including aircraft models, tanks, and rocket displays.

Arthur Vanabelle, a self-taught farmer, began creating this artistic installation in the 1960s, transforming his residence into an outdoor exhibition.

The property represents a form of outsider art, where everyday objects and agricultural materials were repurposed into large-scale military-themed sculptures.

Located along the A25 motorway between Lille and Dunkirk, visitors can observe the sculptures from the road or arrange private tours.

In 2014, a public campaign gathered 18,000 signatures to preserve the site, leading to media coverage and involvement of French political figures.
