The castle of La Verrerie in Le Creusot, Saône-et-Loire
A dive into the industrial history of the city of Le Creusot
The castle of the Verrerie du Creusot is located in the heart of the city, it was the residence of the Schneider family for more than a century (1836-1960). During the splendor of the Schneider family during the First World War, the city had more than 35,000 inhabitants (today 23,000). The majority of the city's inhabitants worked in the steel mills owned by the Schneider family. There are very few traces left of the industrial activity in the city of Le Creusot, only the castle and its park which remains the last testimony of the power of the Schneider family.
The castle and its park can be visited, they were sold to the city of Creusot in the 60s, the castle is now a museum of industry.
