Forges de Baudin, 19th century industrial forge in Toulouse-le-Château and Sellières, France.
The Baudin forges include a blast furnace, foundry, and industrial buildings made of limestone along the banks of the La Brenne river.
Established in 1794 by Claude-Joseph Morel and Claude Jobez, the factory produced over 1,500 tons of cast iron in 1850 with more than 200 workers.
The Neo-Gothic chapel, built between 1853 and 1854 by Edmond Monnier, demonstrates the social commitment of the forge masters to their workers.
The Jura departmental archives maintain 60 linear meters of documents relating to the forges, dating from 1686 to 1961.
The site included a complete production system with workers' housing, a master's castle, and metallurgical facilities until its closure in 1959.
