The Ramparts of Metz

Highlight • Historical Site

A pleasant walk, plus medieval history
Originally the rampart formed a 7 kilometer enclosure punctuated by thirty-eight towers and eighteen gates. A little less than a quarter remains, forming a very pleasant walking circuit along the Seille with towers which often bear the name of corporations.

Sainte-Ségolène Church

Highlight • Religious Site

A church building at this point is already documented in the first millennium. The stained glass windows in the Lady Chapel are among the oldest in Lorraine. The crucifixion picture in the north side window, which shows Christ on the cross surrounded by Mary and John the Baptist, dates from the 12th century.

Metz Cathedral

Highlight • Other

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.
