already an imposing fortress

The Porte des Allemands is a genuine, small, independent fortress and highly symbolic of the city. It owes its name to the Teutonic Knights, or Hospitaller Brothers of Notre Dame des Allemands, who founded a hospital nearby as early as the 13th century. It is the most imposing structure remaining from the medieval city walls, serving as both a double gate and a bridge over the Seille River. The circular walking route along the city walls begins at the Porte des Allemands, allowing visitors to explore the remnants of Metz's fortifications.

The Temple Neuf was built from 1901 to 1904 from grey 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.

A bridge over the Moselle River offers beautiful views of the Moselle Island. At night, the arches beneath the bridge are illuminated in colorful lights, a beautiful eye-catcher.

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.

A beautiful square between the cathedral and the neighboring market hall. Here, you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of the market stalls and the cathedral from one of the cafés.

The name probably originates from an order issued by the Bishop of Metz around 1220. According to this order, the best robe of a recently deceased person had to be donated to the Hospital of Saint-Nicolas. This hospital was responsible for the construction and maintenance of the bridge.
