Explore Saint-Etienne's Cathedral in Metz: A Gothic Masterpiece during Your Stay in Moselle
When visiting Moselle, a stop at Metz's Cathédrale Saint-Étienne is a must. This iconic monument, nicknamed the "Lantern of the Good Lord", is famous for its impressive stained glass windows, which make it one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in Europe. By choosing accommodation with Clévacances, you can be sure of a comfortable stay just a few minutes from this historic landmark.
An Exceptional Architectural Heritage
St Stephen's Cathedral is distinguished by its spectacular Gothic architecture and its stained glass windows, which cover an area of 6,500 m², the largest in Europe. These works of art illuminate the interior of the cathedral, creating colourful plays of light that amaze visitors. The building was constructed over several centuries, beginning in the 13th century, giving it a particular historical and artistic richness.
The stained glass windows include works by famous master glassmakers such as Hermann de Münster in the Middle Ages and Marc Chagall in the 20th century, offering a unique insight into artistic evolution through the ages.
