Basilique Saint-Vincent
A Gothic church on an island in the river, combining an 18th-century Classical facade with a 13th-century Gothic nave; its reflection in the water is beautiful.
Saint-Vincent Basilica sits on an island in the Moselle. Construction began in the 13th century, and its Gothic nave and apse are slender and soaring. In the 18th century a Classical facade was added, creating a distinctive mix of styles. From the riverbank or the bridges you can photograph the church reflected in the water. It is about a five-minute walk from the opera house and can be visited together with Place de la Comédie and the Temple Neuf. Admission is free; opening hours vary.
