The museum The forge of Désiré Dequin is a monument located in the municipality of Brissy-Hamégicourt. This place is dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the heritage linked to the forge, an artisanal and industrial know-how emblematic of many French regions. Although the exact period of creation or activity of this forge is not specified, its existence reflects the importance of iron trades in local and regional history.

In the Hauts-de-France, as in other regions, forges have played a central role in the economy and daily life of communities.
