Hôtel des Postes, Historic post office in Metz, France

The Hôtel des Postes stands at 9 Rue Gambetta with a pink sandstone facade featuring medieval influences and fortress-like architectural elements.

German authorities commissioned the construction between 1907 and 1911, during the period when Metz belonged to the German Empire under Wilhelm II.

The building represents the Neo-Romanesque architectural movement of the early 20th century, combining German and French design influences in its structure.

The postal services relocated to the Robert Schuman Congress Center in 2019, leading to plans for converting the building into offices and residences.

The structure includes concrete pilings in its foundation, an engineering solution implemented due to the unstable nature of the local soil.
