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.

Two farms were located on the old path between Metz and Peltre, the Haute Bévoye and the Basse Bévoye. The Haute Bévoye, on a hill, is a fortified farm documented from the early 14th century. In 1404, it belonged to "Jehan Xaippey", i.e. Jean de Raigecourt, known as Xappel; 12 cattle and 8 horses were raised there at the time. In addition to an 18th-century dwelling and farm buildings, the layout of the medieval castle remains legible, with four rectangular wings surrounded by a moat; two wings and three towers recall the initial state. https://melodi.univ-lorraine.fr/s/projet-cite-de-metz/item/2973

The Protestant town church is located on the southwestern tip of the "Île du Petit-Saulcy," which is surrounded by the Moselle River. It is a neo-Romanesque building from the early 20th century. Walking paths around the church lead through a small park, the Jardin d'Amour, to the tip of the island.

The Middle Bridge, originally called the Middle Pont des Morts, and the Pont des Morts (Bridge of the Dead), an extension of the former, owe their names to their construction: they were financed by the Saint-Nicolas Hospital, which sold the best garment from a deceased resident of Metz. The Middle Bridge was once fortified. Walking along the banks of the Moselle, you can still see the opening from which the gate was lowered to block access to the city from the river.
