Église Saint-Maximin de Metz

The Saint-Maximin Church features rounded arches, robust buttresses, and a bell tower that characterizes the Romanesque architectural style from the 12th century.

Construction of the church extended from the 12th to 15th centuries, incorporating Gothic elements such as side aisles and transept arms in later phases.

The Gournay chapel contains a reticulated vault decorated with sculpted coat of arms, representing local noble families of medieval Metz.

Located at 61 rue Mazelle between Porte des Allemands and the central station, the church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and worshippers.

Jean Cocteau designed the blue-tinted stained glass windows in the 1960s, incorporating crosses, animals, flowers, and masks into the medieval structure.
