Forge d'Ans, Historical smithy in Cubjac-Auvézère-Val d'Ans, France.

The Forge d'Ans features multiple industrial buildings, including blast furnaces, rolling mills, and a master's house connected by an underground tunnel.

Founded in 1601, this industrial site produced cannons for the Royal Navy from 1691 to 1830, which were transported to Rochefort via the port of Moustier.

The forge represents industrial heritage of the Périgord region, demonstrating the evolution of metalworking techniques from the 17th to the 19th century.

The site received financial support of 168,000 euros from the Heritage Lottery in 2022 to preserve its historical structures and industrial elements.

An underground passage connects the master's house to the forge level, featuring vaulted rooms and a historical kitchen with original installations.
