Charming guesthouse 35 minutes from Metz and its cathedral with 6,500 m² of stained glass
Discover the Lantern of God, Chagall's stained glass, and Centre Pompidou-Metz from an authentic 16th-century château in Lorraine
Just 35 minutes from Château de Morey, Metz unveils an exceptional cultural heritage that blends three millennia of history with the boldness of contemporary art. Our 16th-century residence, nestled in its one-hectare park, is the ideal refuge for discovering the Moselle metropolis and its treasures. Saint-Étienne Cathedral, nicknamed the Lantern of God, will dazzle you with its 6,500 m² of stained glass — the largest glass surface of any French cathedral — including Marc Chagall's dreamlike creations. Steps away, Centre Pompidou-Metz, the first decentralization of the famous Parisian museum, exhibits modern and contemporary art beneath a spectacular architecture by Shigeru Ban. As evening falls, leave the city's vibrancy behind to find the soothing silence of our Lorraine countryside.
