Nice church (unfortunately closed)

This so called Templars Chapel, is probably one of Metz's oldest buildings dating to the 12th century but was unfortunately closed. That was quite unfortunate as I had seen online it contained some fine medieval frescoes as well as more modern ones inside.

I wanted to see the chapel but based on reviews it never seems to be open. It’s a neat piece of history hidden in the city, but it appears just something to admire from the outside.

Just a walk by

This small chapel, though a great little peeve of history, is not open to the public. There are two historical markers with info but they are in French.

A quaint chapel

The Knights Templar evoke thoughts of legend and the crusades, no doubt promoted by their untimely disbandment in the early 14th Century. This Protestant temple is a small octagonal chapel and not generally open to the public (however there is an information board which enhances...More
