Abbaye Saint-Clément, Baroque abbey in Pontiffroy district, Metz, France
Saint-Clement Abbey features three naves of equal height supported by columns with composite capitals and illuminated by large ogival windows.
The original abbey from the 11th century was relocated to Pontiffroy in 1565 after its destruction during the siege of Metz in 1552.
The church interior displays architectural elements combining Gothic and Baroque styles, with acanthus leaves and abbot's crosiers carved on column capitals.
The abbey buildings, classified as historical monuments since 1972, now serve as administrative offices for the Regional Council of Lorraine.
The church facade, completed in 1737 by architects Louis and Barlet, matches the architectural style of Saint-Vincent Basilica in Metz.
