VIP tour of the blast furnace park
Immerse yourself in the industrial heritage of the Fensch Valley by exploring the U4 blast furnace park in Uckange! This unique site represents the last blast furnace of the former Uckange plant. It is one of the last vestiges of the 20th century steelmaking era in France.
Founded in 1890 by the Stumm brothers, who already owned several sites in Saarland, the Uckange ironworks was a regional economic mainstay thanks to its 6 blast furnaces, including U4 erected in 1904. It contributed to local prosperity from 1960 to 1980, before closing in 1991, leaving behind a rich industrial, human and social history. Since 2007, the site has become a place to visit, offering self-guided, guided and audio-guided tours. It also offers treasure hunts for younger visitors, as well as a variety of events.
With the VIP offer, you’ll enjoy a fully personalized tour. A guide will be dedicated exclusively to your group, which will be limited to 2 to 8 people. After booking, the team will contact you to tailor the tour to your specific interests and the time you have available.
This exclusive tour opens the doors to the blast furnace, revealing the plant’s other facilities. You’ll enjoy an immersive journey through virtual reality, access the exhibits and explore the industrial wasteland. For security reasons, however, the interior of the buildings remains inaccessible.
This fascinating outing is suitable for everyone, including people with reduced mobility. Free parking is available for your convenience.
