    U4: Behind letter and numeral hides the last of the 4 blast furnaces of the Uckange metallurgical plant, saved thanks to its inclusion in 2001 in the list of listed buildings. As a symbol of the powerful industry of the Fenschtals, he has regained his colors and majestic charisma with the light dramaturgy of Claude Lévêque. Guided tours, free or audio guided, allow those survivors to discover the glorious French steel industry, unique in France.

      Blast Furnace U4 is a rust-infested fossil. It stands alone on a fenced industrial steppe next to the national road 953 and the river Vensch. Its neighboring furnaces were gradually demolished. The fight for his life lasted 15 years. Since 1995, blast furnace 4 has been the only one in France to have been listed as a historical monument. During the season, from the oldest blast furnace of the Lorraine brazier, “all the suns” shine into the night as a staging of the artist Claude Leveque’s eponymous light installation.
