Собор - жемчужина города Cathedral - the pearl of the city

Rating 10110

The cathedral is located in the very center of the city on the Square of Weapons and is very harmoniously integrated into the city ensemble. Backlighting at night completes the impression. Opposite the main entrance, a tourist train stops, on which you can take a sightseeing tour of the city, there is a guide in Russian. The cathedral seems huge, and the yellow color of the stone gives it a sunny appearance. Its nave, 41.41 meters high, is the third largest in France. Higher only in the cathedrals of Beauvais and Amiens. The very beautiful stained glass windows of the Metz Cathedral were made by masters Hermann de Munster in the 14th century and Valentin Boucher in the 16th. In the 20th century, artist Marc Chagall created 19 stained glass windows for the cathedral between 1958 and 1968. Surprisingly good statues on the facade of the cathedral, each of which has its own face: good or evil, imperious or timid. Separate history - the main organ. Aesthetic and spiritual pleasure for the visitor is guaranteed!
