Béguinage Saint-Christophe de Liège, Medieval religious complex in Liège, Belgium

The Saint-Christophe Beguinage consists of multiple small convents arranged around the Saint-Christophe Church, built in coal sandstone with Gothic features and a flat chevet.

Founded in the 13th century, the beguinage reached its peak in 1740 with 127 beguines, making it the largest religious community of its kind in Liège.

The interior received stucco decorations in 1777, and the 1885 restoration by Auguste Van Assche transformed the church into a neo-Gothic architectural style.

The religious complex is located on Frère-Michel Street, between Jonfosse Street, Sur-la-Fontaine Street, and Saint-Gilles Street in central Liège.

This beguinage managed the Tirebourse Hospital, the Florichamps leprosarium, and a support house named Potage d'åble during its active period.
