Église Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus de Metz, Modern church in Nouvelle Ville district, Metz, France.
Église Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus is a concrete church constructed with sixteen slanted pillars that meet in pairs and rise 30 meters high. The structure spans a long rectangular shape with extensive glazed surfaces and occupies a prominent spot at Place Philippe-de-Vigneulles in Nouvelle Ville.
Construction began in 1938 but stopped during World War II when German authorities considered destroying it. Work resumed in 1947 after the war and was completed in 1954.
The stained glass windows depict scenes from Saint Therese's life alongside regional crafts and activities that define the area. These colorful panels shape how light fills the interior and tell stories that become apparent as you move through the space.
The church sits in a central location on a public square, making it easy to find and navigate. The modern open design with its large window surfaces and clear sight lines helps you move comfortably through the space.
A slender spire 70 meters tall was added in 1963 and was designed to symbolize a pilgrim's staff. This vertical element makes the building recognizable from a distance and gives the church a distinct silhouette that catches your eye immediately.
