Basilique Saint-Maurice
The Basilica of Saint-Maurice was built in its present state between the 11th and 13th centuries. The basilica is probably located on the site of the town's first church, which was built in the 10th century by Bishop Gerard of Toul at the request of Thierry de Hamelant, Bishop of Metz. In the middle of the 11th century, a new Romanesque church was rebuilt and consecrated by the Lorraine Pope Leo IX. It was probably in the 13th century that the nuns were replaced by a chapter of canonesses, which remained until the end of the 18th century.
