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.

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.

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.

This magnificent cathedral in Metz was dedicated to the patron saint of "Saint-ETIENNE". He was one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem community and, according to the biblical accounts in the "New Testament", was also the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on the second day of Christmas, December 26th. As the Acts of the Apostles report: When Stephen expressed his vision of the open heavens, "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Chapter 7, Verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

The Saint-Étienne Cathedral (German: St. Stephen's Cathedral) in Metz in Lorraine was built between 1220 and 1520 and is considered one of the most beautiful and largest Gothic church buildings in France. With a vault height of more than 41 meters, it has the third highest interior after the cathedrals of Amiens and Beauvais; the area of its stained glass is around 6500 m², the largest in a French cathedral, hence the name La lanterne du Bon Dieu - English: "The Lantern of the Good Lord". It is therefore also one of the masterpieces of the Gothique Rayonnant. It is the episcopal church of the diocese of Metz. Since 1930, the cathedral has been classified as a monument historique (cultural monument) and protected.

An awe-inspiring place: wonderful windows in a sacred space that remains silent and yet tells so much of its history. One of the most impressive cathedral buildings in Europe!
