I am not a believer and I often criticise the people who believe in God but I have visited Metz Cathedral twice and my thoughts were the same... God exists. He is the mind of the people who designed this building, He is the arms of the men that built it.

One of my top 5 favorite cathedrals in Europe. The stained glass is absolutely spectacular. Such a beautiful work of art!

Hey everyone.... It's a wonderful piece of medieval majesty....
PS I get lucky with monuments every time they restore them

Shocked by how stunning this cathedral was. It was absolutely enormous. Perhaps the largest church I’ve ever been in. The outside is an architectural wonder, but the inside takes your breath away with its sheer elevation and open space. If you are into European churches, this is a must see. Even if you’re not, I’d still say you shouldn’t miss it if in Metz.

Metz Cathedral, located in Metz which is between Paris and Strasbourg, is an extraordinary example of Gothic architecture. Its towering spires and intricate stained glass windows are truly impressive. Inside, the Rose Window is a highlight. This cathedral's historical and architectural significance makes it a captivating destination, offering a glimpse into the past. It's free to enter and you can buy and light candles inside. Highly recommended!

Metz Cathedral is located in the city center and can be seen from afar. The cathedral was built around 1220 and is a fantastic example of Gothic architecture. There are many ornate statues and decorative elements on the outer walls. The cathedral has a fantastic interior area, with a very high ceiling and large stained glass windows. The cathedral can be viewed almost completely and photos can also be taken. Entry is free

Metz Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece, adorned with intricate details that leave one in awe. The sheer grandeur of the structure is awe-inspiring and captures the essence of history. It's unfortunate that the historical information texts are exclusively in French, which might pose challenges for non-French-speaking tourists. Nevertheless, the cathedral's beauty and architectural richness transcend language barriers, offering a mesmerizing experience that speaks to the depths of human creativity and devotion.

It's amazing to step inside such an old cathedral. This building has one of the largest collections of stained glass in the world. There are many well-known artists who have contributed to it. It is also very interesting to see a model of the cathedral showing what was built in each century during its many changes.
