Origin and history

The Museum of the old forge in Denazé is a place dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the artisanal heritage linked to the forge. Located in the municipality of Denazé, in the Pays de la Loire region, this museum offers an overview of the techniques and tools used in the past in local forges. Although the exact period of his activity is not specified, he demonstrates a traditional know-how rooted in the industrial and craft history of the region.

In the Pays de la Loire, forges played a central role in the economic and social life of local communities. These craft workshops were often gathering places where skills were passed on from generation to generation. The museum, as a space of memory, allows to understand the importance of these activities in the development of villages and small towns in the region.
