The Église Saint-Maximin (Church of St. Maximin) is a Catholic church located in the Old Town of Metz in the district Outre-Seille. The church was named after the bishop Maximin of Trier, who died in 346.
The choir, the transept and the square tower dating from the 12th century are an important testimony of the Romanesque period. The nave dates from the 15th century.
