Église Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus de Metz, Modern church in Nouvelle Ville district, Metz, France.

The church features a concrete structure with sixteen inclined pillars meeting in pairs and reaches a height of 30 meters.

Construction started in 1938 but halted during World War II when Nazi authorities considered demolition, before resuming in 1947 and completing in 1954.

Nicolas Untersteller created extensive stained glass windows covering 1062 square meters, depicting the life of Saint Therese and regional activities.

The church building stands at Place Philippe-de-Vigneulles, replacing the former Saint-Arnould Abbey site in the Nouvelle Ville neighborhood.

The structure includes a 70-meter-high spire added in 1963, designed as a symbolic pilgrim's staff by architect André Remondet.
