    Hiking

    This building from the end of the 19th century was in fact a cotton mill, rebuilt after a violent fire in the "neo-Gothic" style with crenellated walls and stepped gables.
    Inside this fortress, the engineers fought a form of battle: relentless competition against British factories. And for this, the Roubaix industrialists "drew" very strongly from English methods, their processes and their machines... an almost fair battle!
    After the end of the activity in 1981, the factory, taken over by the State, was transformed by the architect Alain Sarfati. It now houses the National Archives of the World of Work.

    This former cotton mill (1862), an example of 19th century industrial architecture, was restored in 1993 by architect Alain Sarfati; it now houses the National Labour Archives. From the outside, this "castle of industry" resembles both a steamship and a medieval fortress, with its battlements and watchtower, and also its iron drawbridge, which dominates the entrance.
