Église Saint-Quentin, Fortified church in Scy-Chazelles, France.

The Saint-Quentin Church features a high tower with battlements, a defensive walkway, and machicolation elements characteristic of medieval fortifications.

The church construction began in 1400, and its design incorporated military defensive features to protect against raids during periods of regional instability.

The church contains the tomb of Robert Schuman, French statesman and European Union founding member, with flags of EU nations decorating the interior.

Located near Metz at coordinates 49.1111, 6.11139, the church remains open to visitors throughout the year without admission fees.

The restoration work in 1999 removed certain buttresses added by architect Paul Tornow to return the church to its regional fortified style.
