About the location

Le pavillon de Geiger

Rue du Colonel Edouard Cazal, 57200 Sarreguemines

Moselle
Grand Est

In 1880, Paul de Geiger, director of ceramics, had a pavilion erected to the north of the Casino. This building, pierced by a wide gate, still today marks the access to what has remained a vast recreational area.
The building’s architecture is typical of the 19th-century "eclectic" current that combines architectural elements borrowed from other eras: bricks, stone chains with angles and slate roofs evoke the French 17th-century pleasure castles. Unlike the nearby facilities (gardens, Casino), access to the building was reserved for the owner.
