Église Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours
The burial church of King Stanislas, with lavish Rococo interiors, often called the finest Baroque church in Lorraine.
Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours was built in 1738–1741 to a design by Emmanuel Héré for Stanislas, serving as the mausoleum for him and his queen. The exterior is plain, but the interior is extravagantly ornate, with pink-and-gold walls, painted domes, delicate wrought-iron railings, and marble tombs of Stanislas and his queen. It lies about 2 km southeast of the city centre and has limited opening hours, so check before you set out. It can be reached by bus or on foot.
