Rotonde ferroviaire de Montabon
Rotonde ferroviaire de Montabon, Railway roundhouse in Montval-sur-Loir, France.
The semi-circular building spans 2,500 square meters with 10 interior tracks served by a 24-meter rotating bridge connected to the national railway network.
The roundhouse, completed in 1891, accommodated 85 locomotives and employed 500 workers for the Paris-Bordeaux railway line until its closure in 1954.
The structure represents a major element of French industrial heritage, leading to its registration as a Historic Monument in 2010.
The site offers guided tours throughout the year, allowing visitors to discover the ongoing restoration work and railway equipment collection.
The roundhouse maintains its direct connection to the national rail network, distinguishing it from other preserved railway structures in France.
