Forges de Dampierre-sur-Blévy
Forges de Dampierre-sur-Blévy, Historical smithy in Maillebois, France.
The industrial complex contains two blast furnaces, coal storage halls, hydraulic systems, and a forge master's residence along the Blaise River.
The forge, established in 1670 by the Bourbon-Condé family, manufactured cannons for the French royal navy under Colbert's direction for two centuries.
The forge master's house features period decorations and architectural elements that represent industrial management practices of 17th century France.
The site operates daily from August 21 to December 31, 2024, with French language tours and pet-friendly access for visitors.
The facility produced 52 kilometers of underground pipes for Louis XIV's aqueduct using an innovative dual blast furnace system.
