Chapelle des Templiers

beautiful, vibrant public space with a temporary free contemporary art exhibit in the chapel when I visited on arcane/mystical art in a christian format. well worth it.

The building from the outside doesn't look anything too special but step inside this small chapel to be amazed by the artwork that adorn all the walls and ceilings. You must try visit this if in Metz.

In Metz's Quartier Citadelle, the Chapelle des Templiers (Chapel of the Knights Templar) dates from the 12th century. The unusual octagonal-shaped building is the only example of an octagonal chapel in the Lorraine region. Built from 1180 to 1220, this rare monument shows the transition between Romanesque and Gothic architecture. The Knights Templar Chapel is found near the Eglise Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains and is part of the Arsenal Cultural Center, which has a theater and concert hall.

With such fascinating history, it's worth exploring. Impressively unique vestige of Templar Commandery founded around the twelfth century in Metz. This is stunningly stupendous with an ambience so enticing that you just want to absorb the atmosphere and soak in its history! The most stunning of course is the Chapel with its glorious painted dome! It's wheelchair friendly and suitable for all ages. A hidden gem in this most spectacular city of Metz.

Mystical and spiritual place to visit!
