France, Meurthe et Moselle, Fey en Haye, Exaltation de la Sainte Croix (exaltation of the Holly Cross) church rebuilt between 1923 and 1924 by the Cooperative de Reconstruction des Eglises du Diocese de Nancy in neogothic style by architect Jules Criqui, also named Croix des Carmes (Cross of the Carmes) to remember the battle of Bois le Pretre during which french soldiers brought back a wooden cross into their lines so that it woudn't be taken by the Germans. On the facade to the left, double sided stained glass window made in 1923 by master glassmaker from Nancy Jacques Gruber which represents the inauguration of the monument of the Croix des Carmes by then President du Conseil (President of the Coucil) Raymond Poincare, after the photos that were made.
