Origin and history

The Buré forge, located in the town of Allondrille-la-Malmaison, is a historic monument listed as Historic Monuments. This industrial site, whose exact history is not detailed in the available sources, includes an area including a dam and infrastructure related to forging activity. The registration by decree of 24 December 1991 specifically covers the estate of the former forge, including the dike used by the so-called Buré vicinal road, as well as cadastral plots C 71, 72, and 74 to 77.

Forges, like Buré's, played a central economic role in the rural areas of Lorraine and the Great East. They were often associated with metallurgical activities, exploiting local ore and wood resources to feed blast furnaces. These sites helped to structure the social and economic life of the surrounding villages, providing jobs and stimulating trade. Although the precise details of its operation or owners are not mentioned in the sources, this type of monument illustrates the importance of industrial heritage in regional history.

The monument is located precisely away from Bure d-Orval, in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle, in the Grand Est region. Its exact address, as recorded in the Merimée base, confirms its territorial anchoring in the municipality of Allondrelle-la-Malmaison. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as satisfactory, allowing clear identification of the site. No information is available on its current accessibility, whether it be visits, room rentals or accommodation.
