Synagogue in Metz, Synagogue in central Metz, France.
The Synagogue in Metz is a house of worship built in the Romanesque Revival style located in the city center. The building features multiple entrance doors and a substantial interior space decorated with gas-lit fixtures and ornamental chandeliers.
This structure was built in 1850 and replaced two earlier Jewish prayer houses that had occupied the site since 1609. Its construction reflects the long-standing presence of the Jewish community in the region.
The interior reflects how the Jewish community designed spaces for worship, with careful attention to light and gathering. The gas-lit candelabra and Byzantine chandeliers show the aesthetic choices people made when decorating their prayer halls.
The location is situated downtown and easy to reach on foot, with clear signage for visitors. It is wise to check visiting hours beforehand, as access can vary depending on religious services and observances.
King Louis XIV entered the former prayer house in 1657 and became the first French monarch to visit a synagogue. This royal visit held special symbolic value for the Jewish community in France.
