Maison Feuillette, Heritage house in Montargis, France

The Feuillette House features wooden frame walls filled with straw bales, creating an efficient thermal insulation system for the entire structure.

Engineer Emile Feuillette built this experimental residence in 1920 to address post-war housing needs through cost-effective construction methods.

The building demonstrates early 20th-century sustainable architecture principles, incorporating local materials and energy-efficient design solutions.

The National Center for Straw Construction now operates from this location, promoting ecological building techniques and sustainable housing solutions.

This century-old structure stands as the oldest known straw-bale house in Europe, maintaining its original construction integrity through 100 years.
