Magasin aux vivres de Metz, Renaissance military monument in Metz, France.
Magasin aux vivres de Metz is a military supply storehouse built with Renaissance architectural details in its facade and structure. The rectangular building was designed with spacious interior areas for storing provisions, and it now functions as a hotel and restaurant space.
Construction began in 1552 after Charles V besieged Metz and the building was completed in 1560 under architect Rocco Guerrini. The project marked an important moment in how military fortifications and supply systems were being developed in France.
The building shows how French military supplies were organized during the 16th century through its layout and scale. Walking through it today, you can see how the structure was designed to store and manage resources for troops.
The building is accessible to visitors through its hotel and restaurant operations. You can explore the courtyard and interior spaces when staying at the hotel or dining at the restaurant.
This storehouse ranks among the oldest military buildings from the 16th century still standing in its original form in France. Its conversion to a hotel and restaurant is an unusual way to keep a military structure active and in daily use.
