The Porte Serpenoise is a sort of triumphal arch which used to mark the South limit of the city of Metz from the 3rd until the early 20th centuries. During the Roman era, the gate was guarding the road to Scarpone (now Dieulouard, near Nancy). In the 19th century, the gate was incorporated into the rampart, as a tunnel dug into the counterscarp. When the German authorities decided to get rid of the walls, they kept the gate, which they redrafted into a triumphal arch.

According to tradition, the Knights Templar who came to Metz in 1133 built the chapel between 1180 and 1220. The church was part of a larger Commandry destroyed at the same time the Order was abolished. It represents an architectural masterpiece in Lorraine as it is the only rotunda of that kind in the region. Its circular layout is typical of the Templar tradition, (as in the cathedral of Aachen) and it is believed that the chapel was modelled after that of Laon, Picardy, and built 40 years earlier.

"I enjoyed the museum. One of the exhibits was a little lame, but I really liked another. One exhibit was mostly in French which made it difficult to understand, but the History of Lines was good and was in english as well. I would go again when the exhibits change."
"We made a completely spontaneous trip to Metz one weekend because we saw there was cheap train fare and we had never been there before. We loved our time here and it was a wonderful city just to walk around in. The Porte des Allemands is a great example of free, picturesque spots throughout Metz. We..." didn't have an itinerary at all and managed to find a great hotel and wonderful food by just walking around. Great weekend trip for a couple of nights.

"This church is truly awe inspiring. The stained glass and enormity of the space make it one of the most memorable churches I have ever been in. The outside is not that impressive, but you must enter to really the church."
