École d'application de l'artillerie et du génie
École d'application de l'artillerie et du génie, Military academy in Metz, France.
This military institution features a grand facade that exemplifies 18th-century French architectural design with symmetrical windows and classical stone ornamentation.
Established in 1794 by the Committee of Public Safety, the academy merged the Royal Artillery School of Metz with the Royal Engineering School of Mézières.
The institution shaped military education by implementing scientific approaches to artillery training and engineering studies for French military officers.
The building received historical monument classification in 1929, preserving its architectural elements for future generations to study and appreciate.
Following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the academy relocated to Fontainebleau, and the building transformed into Kriegsschule Metz under German control.
