Grands bureaux des Aciéries de Longwy, Art Deco office building in Longlaville, France.
The Grands bureaux des Aciéries de Longwy is an Art Deco office building in Longlaville with large windows and two towers in the inner courtyard. The structure displays a minimalist design language from 1928 with a clear, functional layout.
The building was constructed as headquarters for Longwy Steel Works, which originated in 1865 when two factories merged on opposite sides of the river. Its construction in the 1920s reflects the region's rise as an industrial center.
The grand staircase displays 27 stained glass windows by Louis Majorelle showing scenes of industrial work and steel production. These artworks tell the story of labor and technical achievement that defined the place.
Access may be limited depending on current use, so it is best to check the status before visiting. The site is best explored during daylight hours to fully appreciate the architectural details and window work.
A special room in the building is the Majorelle Salon, a former director's office furnished by Louis Majorelle himself. This room sits above the main entrance and displays the artist's personal touch.
