The castle is open to the public for guided tours on some Sundays (information +33 3 87 55 74 16).
• St. Joseph Church: The Church of St. Joseph was opened after three years of work in July 1906 by Bishop Benzler, bishop of Metz. It is constructed of a basilica with three naves, the Romanesque Revival style Rhine. The stone used is the Jaumont stone, as is the case for many buildings in the Messina area. The church facade is pierced by three doors with large gate topped by the statue of St. Joseph, patron of the church.

The church is decorated with a variety of interesting frescoes restored by the city in 2008 and 2011. We also note the significant presence of dragons (stalls, canopy, canopies, marquees, transept). It has many interesting stained glass windows, designed by glass artist Martin of Wiesbaden, a large mechanical organ installed in 1987 by François Delangue, completely restored in 2005 by master Jean-Louis Helleringer and a choir organ, built by the famous firm Cavaille-Coll in 1905.

Alternately burial, Protestant place of worship and Catholic, she has seen many changes over the centuries. The remains found at the opportunity to work in this street have been restored in 2008. The chapel is open in the afternoon on the last Sunday of each month.
• Protestant church: The story of the Protestant community of Montigny goes well beyond the construction of the temple as it is today. From the 16th century, driven from Metz at the time of the Reformation, Protestants took refuge in Montigny, including the church of Saint-Privat hosting their first office in 1561. In the 1880s, the Protestant community still lacks a place of worship clean. The decision to build a temple is taken jointly by the two cities, the prospect of a merger Metz-Sablon Montigny. Work began in 1892 and the temple, of great architectural simplicity, was inaugurated two years later, at Christmas 1894. This parish has always been involved in the life of Protestantism messin.
• Church of St. Joan of Arc: The construction of the church was decided in 1938. It is dedicated to Joan of Arc. The national hero was canonized in 1920, it was a tribute to the abbot of the time, Pierre Leroy, to give his name to the new parish with many soldiers. World War II suddenly stops work in 1939, only the basement with the crypt was completed. From 1945, the Mass is celebrated in the basement until the resumption of work, but the five years following the Liberation difficult. Work resumed in 1950 actually. The church was inaugurated December 11, 1960, by Monsignor Schmitt, the new bishop of Metz, 30 years after the first steps and exactly 25 years after the inauguration of the Chapel of St. Bernadette. The Church of St. Joan of Arc is 68.5 meters long and 30 meters wide, height 17.8 meters of the nave. Materials, rubble and pretty Jaumont stone that gives luster peculiar to this set, it is akin to the modernist style, as Sainte-Thérèse in Metz. The architects are George and Henry Tribout Drillien. The church windows were installed in 1962. The design and layout of the windows are the work of Camille Hilaire, one of the major artists of the 20th century in Lorraine, born in Metz, Grand Prix de Rome in 1950 and were completed by the glass artist Pierre Benoit Nancy. The large glass roof panels with 22 shows four angels and Joan of Arc in armor holding a sword, among the four angels, two of which pose a crown on his helmet. Transparency and light characterize large panels 16 non-dominant figurative blue and yellow of the nave and choir. The five windows of the transept, side street Nicolas Hamant, represent the four evangelists with their symbols. And street side Leon Barillot, three non-figurative windows represent the blue sky ...
