Origin and history

The Bezanleu tilery, located in Treuzy-Levlay (Seine-et-Marne), was built during the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. This industrial monument, typical of the technical revolution of this period, was dedicated to the production of terracotta building materials. Its architecture reflects the functional needs of the craft and proto-industrial activities of the time, with buildings designed to house the various stages of manufacturing: mixing, moulding, drying and cooking.

Ranked among the Historical Monuments by order of 5 December 1989, the Bezanleu tilery is subject to specific protection covering all its buildings (Cadastre ZT 40). This official recognition underscores its heritage importance as a preserved example of rural tiles, once widespread in Île-de-France. These structures played a key economic role in peri-urban areas, providing bricks, tiles and tiles for local constructions.

The location of the tilery, at 7 Rue de la Tuilerie in Treuzy-Levlay, is documented in the Merimée base, with geographical accuracy deemed satisfactory (level 8/10). The site, although protected, does not have up-to-date information in available sources about its accessibility to the public, its possible tourist vocations or its conditions of visit. Associated visual data, such as Creative Commons licensed photographs, contribute to its documentation without revealing specific contemporary uses.
