Cimetière de l'Est, Historical cemetery in Metz, France
The cemetery extends over 17.5 hectares and features two main entrances built in 1834 and 1864, connected by walls leading to Avenue de Strasbourg.
Established in 1834 following a cholera epidemic, this burial ground emerged when the city needed additional space beyond the existing Bellecroix and Chambière cemeteries.
The cemetery contains numerous funerary monuments crafted from local calcareous and Jaumont stone, displaying neo-antique and neo-medieval architectural designs.
Located at 32 rue du Roi Albert in Metz, the cemetery opens daily from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM between April and October, and until 5:30 PM from November to March.
The burial ground received official recognition as a protected historical monument in July 2003, preserving its hundred notable funerary structures for future generations.
