Ancienne tannerie royale de Lectoure, 18th-century royal tannery in Lectoure, France.

The Royal Tannery of Lectoure stands at the foot of the city walls, featuring an entrance with a triumphal arch and semicircular stairs.

Built in 1754 by architect Pierre Racine for the Duclos brothers, the manufacture received royal status upon opening and employed one hundred workers.

The 139 stone tanks of various sizes enabled leather processing according to 18th-century tanning techniques.

The main building and its architectural elements, including the gates and wrought iron staircase, have been protected as historical monuments since 2006.

The north portal displays an engraved inscription 'MANUFACTURE ROYALE' decorated with acanthus leaves and topped with a stone royal crown.
