This octagonal chapel has large walls and small arched openings
The legend of the Templars fascinates... Built between 1180 and 1220, this octagonal chapel is unique in Lorraine! The only remnant of the Templar Order, established in Metz in 1133, the lintel of the door is still adorned with the well-known cross pattee. At the crossroads of Romanesque and Gothic art, this atypical chapel has wide walls and small round-headed openings, but already has ribbed vaults. Its cul-de-four apse and its square choir are its particularity. Inside, some medieval frescoes and stained glass windows decorate it.

De passage dans la région pour une courte durée, je suis extrêmement frustré de ne pas avoir pu y entrer pour étudier l'intérieur. Je dois bientôt écrire un article sur les templiers, alors j'aurai beaucoup aimé pouvoir y avoir accès. Tant pis...
Dans tous les cas, rien que pour l'histoire aussi fascinante que tragique des templiers je recommande cette petite escapade.
