Tips
Built between 1782 and 1785 at the request of Marshal de Stainville, commander of the province, in order to create an opening in the city's granting wall in the direction of Metz, the Porte Désilles, then called Porte Saint-Louis, or Stainville , originally celebrated the engagement of King Louis XVI in the American War of Independence (1775-1783), as well as the economic and maritime prosperity that resulted from this alliance. It was the birth, on October 22, 1781, of the Dauphin Louis Joseph of France, son of Louis XVI and descendant of the last Duke of Lorraine, who presided over the decision to build this monument.

Magnificent building but somehow not really integrated.
