Musée du
An ancient salt factory turned into a Museum.
An ancient salt factory, commissioned by King Louis XIV and built between 1775 and 1779, has been restored and preserved as a rare example of industrial architecture and a testament to the genius of Claude-Nicolas Ledoux and his vision of an “enlightened ideal city.” Today, this historic complex has become a museum that narrates the history of salt production and the daily life of that era. Located in Burgundy, this site has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1982, making it a unique place where architectural beauty blends with precious historical memory.
