Yutz

　　Yutz is a commune in the Moselle department of the Grand Est region in northeastern France. Established in 1971, it lies within the Canton of Yutz in the Eastern District of Thionville, near the borders with Germany and Luxembourg. It is situated along the Moselle River and is the site where the Basse Yutz Flagons were discovered.

　　Yutz is home to numerous religious buildings. The Church of the Holy Cross is an elegant example of creative architecture from the 1930s. The Church of Saint Nicholas was rebuilt in 1571 but unfortunately suffered multiple destructions. The current church, built in 1958, is the largest contemporary religious structure in the Lorraine region. Other notable sites include the Saint Nicholas sculpture, the Church of Saint Joseph built in 1963, the temple opened in 1929, and the mosque located in the old town, all of which are worth visiting.
