Origin and history

The metal house Fillod au Trait is a monument located in the commune of Trait in Normandy. This type of construction, albeit rare, bears witness to particular architectural techniques, often linked to industrial innovations or specific needs for durability and rapid construction. In the Norman region, metal houses, such as that of Fillod, are sometimes part of a historical context marked by the industrial revolution or post-conflict reconstructions.

These buildings, often associated with residential or industrial uses, reflect the architectural adaptations of their time, while meeting local housing or economic needs.
