Origin and history

The Musée des Fours à Chaux de Regnéville-sur-Mer is a monument located in the municipality of the same name in Normandy. This site is evidence of past industrial activity related to lime production, although the precise details of its operation or period of activity are not mentioned in the available sources. Lime kilns were essential installations in many coastal or limestone-rich areas, such as Normandy.

These structures were used to transform limestone into living lime, a material indispensable for construction, agriculture or metallurgy. Their presence often reflects a local economic organization focused on the exploitation of natural resources, as well as artisanal know-how transmitted over several generations.
