Abbaye de Saint-Jacques de Liège, Medieval abbey in central Liège, Belgium
The church building features a Gothic nave with high vaults, Renaissance portal, and five detailed stained glass windows from the 16th century.
Prince-Bishop Balderic II established Saint-Jacques Abbey in 1015, which transformed into a collegiate church in 1785 and later became a parish church.
The medieval choir stalls display unusual decorative elements, including carvings of devils, griffins, and scenes from the Roman de Renart story.
The church structure extends 90 meters in length, with a 38-meter nave reaching heights of 22 meters under vaulted ceilings.
The building stored municipal charters and privileges of Liège, serving as the location where mayors took their annual oath of office.
