Introduction
In 1873 the old Metz railway station was destroyed by fire so a new station was built in yellow Jaumont limestone. The German architect, Jacobstahl, chose to build the station in the form of an Italian-style, neo-Renaissance palace with two side wings symbolising triumphal arches and with rich ornamentation.
