Category: Farm; palace
Construction time: 1st quarter 19th century (1805, 1821, 1835)
Date of protection: 30/01/2008
Description: Farm built in 1805 to a location where already stood buildings prior the Revolution.

Antoine Le Bel, mayor, buys the lands that contain oil sands.

For over a century, Le Bel developed the mine while residing in a farm castle rebuilt from 1805.

In its current state, there remains no building previous to 19th century.

The old farm has a large square mansion with related housing; a wooden house that would be the old laboratory of Achille Le Bel, built in 1813; a set of three agricultural buildings which were raised from 1821 and enlarged between 1832 and 1835.

A regionalist style prevails for each of the buildings.

In the second half of the 19th century, the farm, castle and oil exploitation are a period of great prosperity.

An original and pioneering project, at the same time an agricultural exploitation, cradle of the study and the exploitation of oil, birthplace of agricultural chemistry, experimental agronomic station, the farm and castle Le Bel is one of the last architectural testimonials an exceptional Alsatian scientific and industrial adventure that exceeds, by its implications and its consequences, the regional borders.
