About Le Secq des Tournelles Museum
The Musée Le Secq des Tournelles houses the world's largest collection of antique ironwork, featuring over 15,000 exceptional pieces spanning from the Gallo-Roman era to the 20th century. Located in the stunning former Church of Saint-Laurent, a Gothic Flamboyant masterpiece built between 1440 and 1482, the museum offers a unique setting where medieval architecture meets the artistry of wrought iron. The collection was founded by pioneering photographer Jean-Louis-Henri Le Secq des Tournelles, who discovered his passion for ironwork while documenting France's historic monuments in the 1850s.
