Tips from the Community
The Temple Neuf was built from 1901 to 1904 in gray sandstone in the Neo-Romanesque style in the Jardin des Amours at the end of the Place de la Comédie, and forms a picturesque contrast to the classical architecture of the opera house. When illuminated at dusk, it appears in all its splendor, reflecting in the Moselle, offering one of the most beautiful night views of the city. Tourisme-metz.com

The Evangelical Reformed Church on a small island, Île du Petit-Saulcy (small willow island), between the Moselle and a side arm has a beautiful garden, the Jardin d'Amour, and is a dreamlike place for relaxation and contemplation.

The fort is still maintained as a historical memorial. The inner fortress is actually more of a small park - with playgrounds and picnic areas. The still recognizable building ruins serve as a refuge for bats. The very extensive area around it is surrounded by hiking trails, the fortress walls and, above all, the deep defensive ditch are always present.

It's called the "Lantern of God" because St. Stephen's Church in Metz has almost three times the window area of Chartres Cathedral. Many great artists have attempted to design it – for the 800th anniversary, it will be a woman for the first time.

Built between 1220 and 1522, it is the result of the merging of two separate churches. With its 42-meter-high nave, it is one of the largest Gothic buildings in Europe. Its 6,500 square meters of stained-glass windows have earned it the nickname "Lantern of the Lord." Created in the 16th and 18th centuries by Hermann von Münster, Thiébault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon, and Marc Chagall, these masterpieces of fire and light are a true encyclopedia of glass art.

Of the original 17 city gates, only the German Gate in the east remains. Named after the former hospital of the Teutonic Order, which stood nearby, it was built as an entrance to the city on a bridge over the Seuille River. A medieval structure straight out of a picture book.
