Forges d'Hennebont, Metallurgy museum in Inzinzac-Lochrist, France
The Forges d'Hennebont museum displays industrial equipment, tools, and machinery used in metal production during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Founded in 1860 by the Trottier brothers, the ironworks facility employed 3,000 workers at its peak in 1936 before closing operations in 1966.
The museum preserves the technical knowledge and daily experiences of metalworkers through photographs, films, and authentic equipment demonstrations.
The museum opens from April to October with adult admission at €5.50, while group visits require reservations during the off-season period.
The facility maintains original metalworking equipment and manufacturing processes that demonstrate the evolution of industrial techniques in Brittany.
