Musée du grès de Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye

The museum displays an extensive collection of traditional and contemporary stoneware pieces within the rooms of a Louis XIII period castle.

The castle, rebuilt around 1530 by Antoine de Rochechouart on the foundations of a feudal fortress, houses the museum since its classification as Historical Monument in 1991.

The works from École de Carriès, including creations by Jean Carriès, Paul Jeanneney, and Georges Hoentschel, represent four centuries of local pottery tradition.

The combined ticket for the museum and the potter's memory house costs 4 euros for adults, with free admission for children under 12 years old.

The municipality regularly enriches the collection, notably with the acquisition of eighty exceptional pieces from École de Carriès in 2001.
