Musée Le Secq des Tournelles

An absolutely fascinating and unique museum, unlike anything else you’ll find in Rouen 🗝️. It’s entirely dedicated to wrought iron art — from medieval locks, keys, and gates to delicate household items and signs that tell centuries of craftsmanship and history. 🏛️ What Makes It Special The museum is housed in a beautifully restored former Gothic church, which adds even more charm and atmosphere. The play of light through the stained glass windows gives a magical feeling as you walk among iron masterpieces that once decorated real homes and streets. 🔩 Why It’s Worth Visiting You don’t have to be an artist or blacksmith to appreciate the creativity and skill behind every piece. Each item has a story — from ancient locks that look like puzzles to elegant iron signs that once guided travelers and merchants. 📝 Practical Info ✅ Free entrance (check schedule in advance, hours may vary) ✅ Great for families, couples, or solo travelers interested in art and craftsmanship ✅ Combine your visit with the nearby Rouen Museum of Fine Arts — they complement each other perfectly A small but powerful museum that proves art isn’t just on canvas — it’s in the metal, history, and human imagination 🔥 ⸻ For more tips follow me on Google.

Such an interesting museum! It opens 2 PM every day except Tuesday and it is free. I admired the creativity of its founders who organised it in a former church.

Unique museum, one of a kind. Lots of interesting iron works from the past . Me and my son, even my wife , enjoyed it

A fantastic free museum in a former church. The wrought iron works displayed as wonderful. Especially interesting are the old lock mechanisms. There are two levels to explore. Worth a visit if you are in Rouen and want to see some amazing craftspersonship up close.

Fantastic little museum with so much special pieces, including very detailed and unique locks, medical instruments and other items. Must visit ❤️‍🔥

One of the loveliest spots in this well-run city, filled with pieces of incredible craftsmanship and astonishing detail. We had fun guessing the function of some of the old objects on the shelves, which have long ago lost their usefulness. In addition the museum is free, so you would basically commit a crime against yourself by not passing by this place

This is the best and the most lovely museum in Rouen 👍👍👍 The staffs are so lovely and welcoming 🥹🥹🥹 and the history and different locks and items in the museum are so special and interesting👍👍👍Will recommend it to everyone and I will definitely come back and visit again❤️❤️❤️

Interesting museum, it is fast to visit and free.

it's an interesting museum. we came here because it's one of our friend's favorite museum. the stuff in here is really nice. my favorite section is the chastity locks. once you have been here, you will never look at wrought iron the same way again. if you are in town, it's a nice visit.
