Maison de Fer (Poissy)

About

The iron house or metal house of Poissy (unsuitably called Eiffel house) and sometimes villa of the Maladrerie, is one of the ten iron houses listed in France and built according to the process of plates pressed by Joseph Danly. Built in 1896, it was occupied until the 1980s. Originally located close to the A14 motorway route, it was abandoned following expropriation and suffered major damage before being hit by the 1999 storm. It was dismantled in 2016 by the technical services of the city of Poissy and then returned to Meissonier Park to set up a centre for the interpretation of architecture and heritage within it inaugurated on 19 September 2020.
