Maison de Fer, Cast-iron museum in Parc Meissonier, Poissy, France
The Maison de Fer stands as a metal structure with two floors above ground and one basement level, featuring modular construction techniques throughout its design.
Belgian engineer Joseph Danly constructed this iron house in 1896, creating one of only three remaining examples of his architectural work in France.
The museum presents exhibitions about urban development, from medieval Poissy through its transformations into a commercial and industrial center near Paris.
Visitors can access the museum on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with admission prices of 3 euros for adults.
The building underwent complete restoration in 2019, with original metal components carefully preserved and integrated into the reconstructed structure.
