Tips from the Community
Also striking about the square are the arcades on the ground floor, which have existed since the Middle Ages. This creates a gallery that lines the square on both sides. Within these, various catering establishments and shops are still located today. Source and further information here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_Saint-Louis_(Metz)

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 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!

Impressive and well-preserved gate of the medieval city fortifications on the Seille.

These medieval fortifications once surrounded the city. You can follow the Sentier des Ramparts, a path which runs along the Seille and offers a glimpse of the ancient walls and towers which date from the 13th century. Along the way, you can admire the impressive German Gate, the largest and most elaborate in the city, which has been modified several times over the centuries. You can also learn more about the history and heritage of Metz by visiting the French Heritage Museum, located near the ramparts. It's a great way to learn about the rich and eventful past of Metz, which was once the most fortified city in Europe.

"...One of the sights in Metz that really impressed me was the German Gate (Porte des Allemands). It is an imposing city gate that looks like a small castle with its massive towers and double gate. It was built in the 13th century and was part of the city wall that..." Find out more about the sights of Metz in my blog post: 👉 https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/metz-sehenswuerdigkeiten/
