Nancy Cathedral
Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation
An 18th-century Baroque-classical cathedral with a dignified twin-tower façade, its dome paintings and wrought-iron railings by renowned masters.
Nancy Cathedral was built between 1703 and 1742, with architects including Jules Hardouin-Mansart involved in its design, making it a rare 18th-century classicist cathedral in France. The interior is bright. The dome features a depiction of Heaven by Claude Jacque, and the wrought-iron railings around the altar are the work of Jean Lamour, echoing the gilded gate of Place Stanislas. Admission is free, and it is about a 5-minute walk from Place Stanislas.
