Usines Schneider, Industrial factory complex in Le Creusot, France

Usines Schneider is a red-brick factory building in Le Creusot, in Saône-et-Loire. Its long facade has a brown tiled roof with a raised glazed central section, four tall arched windows with white metal frames above white lower panels, and a thin brown band below a row of projecting brick blocks along the roofline. A fifth arched window and a small white door sit on the right-hand return wall.

The Schneider works in Le Creusot were inscribed as a monument historique on 21 November 1975, a status that protects the surviving red-brick buildings of the complex. The site belongs to the industrial history of Le Creusot in Saône-et-Loire, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, where the Schneider family's metalworks shaped the town. The listing covers the factory structures still standing, including the hall with its four tall arched windows and glazed roof section.

The factory shaped daily life in Le Creusot through worker housing, schools, and hospitals built by the company for its employees. This infrastructure reveals how the Schneider family structured the entire town around industrial production.

The site is located on Avenue de l'Europe with connections to the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean railway network. The area is best explored on foot, allowing visitors to walk between the different factory buildings at their own pace.

The brick hall with four tall arched windows and a fifth on the side wall is among the buildings protected as a monument historique since 21 November 1975. The listing covers the surviving 19th-century workshops of the Schneider works, not the whole former industrial site.
