Porte en Chandellerue stands in Metz (Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Chandellerue gate was one of the openings in the medieval ramparts of Metz, first recorded in the 13th century among the roughly dozen gates and posterns that pierced the town's walls at the time. Originally closed by a portcullis, it lost its function when the fortifications were renovated, leading to its passage being walled up and its two semicircular towers being dismantled. What remains today speaks more to the scale of Metz's defensive system than to a standalone monument to visit.

What to know

The gate's passage was walled up and its two semicircular towers dismantled, so there is no interior space to visit.
The site is part of the broader medieval ramparts of Metz, a portion of which remains visible along the Seille river.
No opening days, hours or admission fee are attached to this site, as it is not set up for organized visits.
It is best seen while walking through Metz's older districts, from the public street.
