Metz Cathedral

About this place

Metz Cathedral is especially known for the amount and variety of its stained glass, which gives the interior an extraordinary relationship with colour and daylight. Medieval and Renaissance windows share the building with later works, including glass by Marc Chagall. The cathedral itself developed through the joining and enlargement of earlier religious structures. Look for changes in the windows rather than assuming they all belong to the same century. The collection offers a way to follow the continuing life of sacred art within a historic architectural setting.
