Synagogue in Metz, Synagogue in central Metz, France.

The synagogue spans 40 meters in length and 20 meters in width, featuring three double doors for men and two separate entrances for women.

The interior contains 400 gas lights mounted on candelabra and Byzantine chandeliers, creating an illuminated space for religious ceremonies and gatherings.
