Another attraction of the city center of Metz, and more specifically, the southwestern part of the island of Petit Soucy, is the Protestant church Temple Neuf. It was built in 1903 by a German architect in neo-romantic style. The prototype of the temple was the Romanesque Speyer Cathedral, which was the tomb of the German-Roman emperors. Dark gray Vosges sandstone was chosen as the main building material. The church was consecrated in 1904. Kaiser Wilhelm II himself was present at the consecration of the church. Near the church there is a cozy garden - a great place for walking. The church is active. Local Protestants gather here all the time. We, unfortunately, did not get inside, but the church itself, a small garden behind it and the view that opens from the end of the island, were very impressive. When you go through the bridge, she, standing on an island, resembles a ship. This is a spectacular place for photos.
Trees leaning into the water, white swans floating by, and views of the bridge and city on both banks of the Moselle make this a must visit.
