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.

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.

In the evening the bridge is illuminated and looks very beautiful

In Roman footsteps

Beautiful, brick bridge. Illuminated at night.

The castle used to be a breathtaking gem and lived up to its purpose - a kind of architectural resistance against the German occupation. It is currently completely run down and is more reminiscent of a lost place. Apparently it was sold in 2021 to a Nancy-based company that wants to refurbish it (along with the chapel) and develop it into residential and commercial units. As of now (June 2023) not much seems to have happened.

The Middle Bridge is one of the many bridges in the city of Metz. It offers a lovely view of the Temple Neuf and the island of Petit-Saulcy, which it faces. Located in the extension of the Pont des Morts, it was originally called Moyen Pont des Morts. The name of these two works comes from their financing, since the Metz hospital used the clothes of the dead to pay for their construction.
