Forges des Salles, Industrial heritage site in Sainte-Brigitte, France.
The Forges des Salles sits south of Lake Guerlédan in the Quénécan forest, featuring a complete iron production complex with workers' housing and administrative buildings.
The iron forge operated continuously until 1877, representing a significant center of metallurgical production in Brittany during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The preserved industrial village includes the master's residence, workers' quarters, a canteen, a school, and a chapel, reflecting the social structure of industrial communities.
The site offers guided tours in French at 9 euros for adults and 7 euros for students, with group rates available for parties of 20 or more.
The entire industrial complex remains unchanged since its closure in 1877, maintaining original equipment and architectural elements from the operational period.
