Metz Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Stephen, is the seat of the Catholic Diocese of Metz in France. Construction of the present Gothic cathedral began in the 13th century, and its nave, at 41.41 metres, is the third highest in France. Nicknamed "la Lanterne du Bon Dieu" for its vast stained glass, which totals 6,496 square metres and is reputedly the largest expanse in the world, it also holds windows by Marc Chagall and Jacques Villon.
