We visited the Metz Cathedral with a specific goal — to see the stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall, since Chagall was our compatriot, also from Belarus. The cathedral itself is magnificent, and the stained glass windows are absolutely mesmerizing. The light filtering through the colorful glass creates a magical effect — the patterns and colors evoke feelings that are simply beyond words.

We couldn’t imagine anything that could make the experience even better, but while we were there, an organ concert began, and it turned the visit into something truly unforgettable. The combination of the music, the stained glass, and the atmosphere was enchanting.

Since it all happened during the Christmas markets and holiday season, it became one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring experiences...

Absolutely amazing cathedral! It's classed as Rayonnant Gothic architecture as opposed to high Gothic that dominated French architecture in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This eight hundred years old Cathedral still stands with amazing beauty both inside and out. It's noted for its stunning stained-glass windows (supposedly the best and most of any stained-glass windows in any churches in Europe), the quadripartite vaulted ceiling and one of the most spectacular liturgical choir! My second visit here and it's just as stupendous as the first time. This is one of the most stunning Cathedrals in France and absolutely and highly recommend a visit. It opens to the public to explore every day, except during services, and closed during lunch time hours. One of my all time...

Die Kathedrale von Metz, auch bekannt als Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Metz (Kathedrale des Heiligen Stephanus), ist eine der beeindruckendsten gotischen Kirchen in Frankreich. Sie wird oft wegen ihrer außergewöhnlichen Fenster und ihrer eleganten Architektur als “Laterne Gottes” bezeichnet. Hier sind die wichtigsten Informationen:

Historische Bedeutung • Die Kathedrale wurde im Jahr 1220 begonnen und über mehrere Jahrhunderte hinweg gebaut, sodass sie verschiedene architektonische Stile miteinander vereint, vor allem Gotik und Elemente der Romanik. • Sie ist dem heiligen Stephanus, dem ersten christlichen Märtyrer, geweiht. • Metz war im Mittelalter ein bedeutendes religiöses Zentrum, und die Kathedrale spiegelt die Macht und den Reichtum der Stadt wider.

Architektonische Highlights • Maße: Mit einer Höhe von 41,41 Metern im Mittelschiff zählt die Kathedrale zu den höchsten gotischen Kirchen Europas. • Glasfenster: Die Kathedrale ist berühmt für ihre 6500 m² Glasfenster, darunter Werke großer Künstler wie Marc Chagall (20. Jahrhundert). • Portal: Die Westfassade ist reich verziert und enthält zahlreiche Skulpturen und Reliefs, die biblische Szenen darstellen. • Kuppel: Der Innenraum ist lichtdurchflutet, was der Kathedrale den Spitznamen “Laterne Gottes” einbrachte.

Kunst und Fenster • Die Glasfenster stammen aus verschiedenen Jahrhunderten (13. bis 20. Jahrhundert) und illustrieren Themen aus der Bibel und der Geschichte der Stadt. • Besonders sehenswert sind die modernen Fenster von Marc Chagall, die mit ihren lebendigen Farben und symbolischen Darstellungen die Kunst der Moderne mit der gotischen Architektur verbinden.

Besonderheiten • Die Kathedrale beherbergt eine prächtige Orgel, die bei Konzerten oft erklingt. • Die Krypta und der Kirchenschatz enthalten wertvolle religiöse Artefakte und mittelalterliche Kunstwerke.

UNESCO-Welterbe • Obwohl die Kathedrale selbst noch nicht offiziell als UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe anerkannt ist, ist sie Teil des historischen Erbes von Metz und ein bedeutendes Ziel auf der “Route der Gotik” in Europa.

Besuchstipps • Öffnungszeiten: Die Kathedrale ist meist täglich geöffnet, aber Zeiten können variieren. • Führungen: Es werden oft Führungen angeboten, um die Geschichte und Architektur im Detail zu erleben. • Lage: Sie befindet sich zentral in Metz und ist leicht erreichbar, nahe dem...
