The Temple Neuf was built from 1901 to 1904 in gray 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. When illuminated at dusk, it appears in all its splendor, reflecting in the Moselle, offering one of the most beautiful night views of the city. Tourisme-metz.com

The Evangelical Reformed Church on a small island, Île du Petit-Saulcy (small willow island), between the Moselle and a side arm has a beautiful garden, the Jardin d'Amour, and is a dreamlike place for relaxation and contemplation.

Fort Plappeville, renamed Fort Alvensleben in 1872, is a military installation northwest of Metz. It is part of the first fortified belt of Metz, built during the Second Empire by Napoleon III. The first fortified belt of Metz consists of the forts Saint-Privat (1870), Queleu (1867), Bordes (1870), Saint-Julien (1867), Gambetta, Déroulède, Decaen, Plappeville (1867), and Saint-Quentin (1867). Most of them were still unfinished in 1870, when the Franco-Prussian War broke out.

A spectacular building from 2010, the first branch of Paris's famous Centre Pompidou, a museum of contemporary art. A white, curved roof is stretched across many exposed wooden beams. Inside, the tube-like exhibition spaces are stacked one above the other in a star shape, with enormous panoramic windows at the ends offering views of the city and the surrounding area.
