The Le Secq des Tournelles Museum is an ironwork museum housed in an old disused church in Rouen . The building is located in the Vieux-Marché – Cathedral district, in the immediate vicinity of the Saint-Godard church and the Museum of Fine Arts .

After entering it may take a moment to comprehend what you’re looking at: Hanging in the church’s gothic arches and in glass cabinets is centuries-worth of ironwork collected by Henri Secq Tournelles and bequeathed to the museum in the 1920s. Going back to the 1500s are tavern signs, chests,  tools, hinges, locks, keys, jewellery and basket hangers.
