The Brickworks Museum in Langueux: A Journey to the Heart of History
During your stay at the Best Western Hotel Le Duguesclin, take the time to discover an authentic and historically rich site: the Brickworks Museum in Langueux, just a few minutes from Saint-Brieuc and on the edge of the bay.
Between industrial heritage, nature, and artistic creation, this unique site offers a wonderful cultural interlude during your getaway in the Côtes-d’Armor region.
A Former Industrial Site Transformed into an Ecomuseum
Located on the remains of a former tile and brick factory founded in the 19th century, the Brickworks Museum retraces the economic and social history of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc.
The visitor experience highlights emblematic activities of the region: brick and tile making, as well as salt production, shellfish gathering, and market gardening, which for a long time shaped local life.
Today, the Brickworks stands as a true ecomuseum, showcasing traditional skills, the history of the workers, and the evolution of the coastal landscape.
An immersion into the heart of craftsmanship and landscapes
The exhibition design features period objects, models, films, and educational installations that offer a deeper understanding of the daily lives of the bay's inhabitants throughout the centuries.
The site notably preserves key elements of the former factory, testaments to the industrial era.
The visit continues pleasantly in a landscaped park along the bay, perfect for strolling and contemplation, with an open view of the Langueux beaches.
A vibrant place, blending culture and contemporary creation
Beyond its permanent exhibition, the Brickworks is also a place for artistic creation and expression.
Temporary exhibitions are regularly presented, combining contemporary art with materials such as clay, ceramics, and glass.
The site also hosts workshops, cultural activities, and events open to all, making each visit a unique experience.
