St. Joseph, Gothic Revival church in Mettlach, Germany
The St. Joseph church features steep roofs, colorful stained glass windows, and intricate ceramic tiles produced by the local manufacturer Villeroy & Boch.
Originally constructed in Wallerfangen in 1864, the chapel was dismantled and transported by barge along the Saar River to Mettlach in 1882.
The church interior displays a collection of religious art, including terracotta Stations of the Cross, statues of saints, and a 15th-century Cretan icon.
The church building is accessible through the entrance of the adjacent hospital at Saaruferstraße 10, with parking facilities available nearby.
The chapel walls feature a two-meter-high base covered in specially designed 19th-century tiles manufactured by Villeroy & Boch using undocumented techniques.
