Maison des Têtes, Renaissance house in central Metz, France.
The stone facade of this 16th century building displays five carved human heads representing notable figures from Metz history above large windows.
Built in 1529 by wealthy goldsmith Jean Aubry, this house reflects the prosperity of Metz merchants during the Renaissance period.
The entrance tympanum features a lion hunt scene in high relief, while the original head sculptures are now preserved in museums in Metz and Boston.
The privately owned building stands at 51 En-Fournirue street, with protected facades classified as a historical monument since October 1929.
Archaeological excavations during construction revealed ancient artifacts near the former Gallic oppidum Divodurum, a sacred site of the Mediomatrici tribe.
