Tips from the Community
It's called the "Lantern of God" because St. Stephen's Church in Metz has almost three times the window area of Chartres Cathedral. Many great artists have attempted to design it – for the 800th anniversary, it will be a woman for the first time.

The name probably originates from an order issued by the Bishop of Metz around 1220. According to this order, the best robe of a recently deceased person had to be donated to the Hospital of Saint-Nicolas. This hospital was responsible for the construction and maintenance of the bridge.

Cathedral built in Jaumont stone, limestone from the Middle Jurassic, it celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2020. The entrance to it retains its round pillars with a more Romanesque character, remains of the 1st cathedral. Then we switch to Gothic art on the following bays. Note the cross doors of the cathedral and especially the stained glass windows by Chagall. It is one of the cathedrals with the largest glass surface, in particular the rose window, a western window dating from 1384.
