A former brickworks transformed into a museum, a place to learn more about brick production in Saint-Martin.
A nice place of knowledge and memory, such is this brick house, which is well worth a detour. The old brickworks, built around a huge kiln in which the bricks took on their final appearance and hardness, had to be demolished. Luckily this did not happen. A simple and fascinating museography and beautiful and educational explanations allow a better understanding of how clay became brick, and the importance of this production in the region. The place, with its very affordable prices, is well worth a visit.

Members' reviews on THE HOUSE OF BRICK
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
On ressort avec des idées très claires sur la façon dont les briques étaient faites dans cette briqueterie ou celles plus modernes.
La personne de l'accueil est ravie de partager ses connaissances de la brique et de l'histoire du bâtiment.
La panne partielle de courant ce jour n'a en rien entamé son enthousiasme et ne gêne pas la visite.
Un panonceau à ajouter pour être sûr que l'on est bien face de l'ancien lieu d'extraction de l'argile et ce sera parfait.
Le musée mériterait des panneaux plus généreux sur la route Périer-Saint Lo.
