In 1787, the King's Council of State decided to transfer the Manufacture des Crystals de la Reine from Sèvres to Montcenis. Built on the plans of Barthélémy Jeanson, the buildings house workshops, offices, accommodation for administrators and workers as well as ovens, installed in two conical halls. Until its acquisition in 1832 by the establishments of Saint-Louis and Baccarat, the crystal factory enjoyed great influence. Eugène Schneider, who had become manager of the forges and workshops in Le Creusot, bought the buildings of the old crystal, which he made his residence. The Château de la Verrerie, a Historic Monument, is owned by the town of Le Creusot.
