A continuous casting and rolling installation for a metal strip comprises a casting device, a hot-rolling device mounted downstream thereof, and a cooling section mounted downstream of the hot-rolling device. Liquid metal is cast in the casting device to give a metal strip having an initial thickness. The cast metal strip is fed to a hot rolling device immediately after casting with an initial thickness and is hot-rolled. The hot-rolled metal strip is then cooled with a coolant in the cooling section. The continuous casting and rolling installation comprises a housing which surrounds the casting device, the hot rolling device and the cooling section and which can be flooded with a protective gas. The invention allows to guide the metal strip in a housing flooded with a protective gas at least from emergence from the casting device until emergence from the cooling section.
