It is located on place de la Comédie (next to Opéra-Théâtre),[3] at the center of the Jardin d'Amour on the southwestern edge of Île du Petit-Saulcy, which is surrounded by the Moselle.
The church was built by Glod, with the first stone being laid on 25 November 1901 (when Metz was a part of the German Empire),[2] following plans by architect Conrad Wahn.
[1] It was inaugurated as the Neue evangelische Kirche on 14 May 1904 in the presence of Wilhelm II, German Emperor, and his wife Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein.
[2] The church is an example of Romanesque Revival architecture,[2] and has been a monument historique of France since 1930.
