Commanderie de l'ordre Teutonique de Saint-André de Liège

Commanderie de l'ordre Teutonique de Saint-André de Liège, Medieval commandry in Liège, Belgium

Description

The Teutonic Commandry of Saint-Andrew in Liège is a stone building located at the intersection of Rue Pierreuse and Rue du Palais with architectural features from the 17th century. The structure displays the solid construction typical of buildings designed to house both administrative and religious functions for medieval military orders.

History

The Teutonic Knights founded this commandry in Liège during the 13th century and received protection from Prince-Bishop Henri de Gueldre in 1254. The building underwent reconstruction and was later converted to serve as a judicial facility before being recognized as a heritage site in 1971.

Culture

The commandry oversaw the churches of Saint-Gangulphe and Saint-André, with its leader holding the specific title of grand-pastor. This religious role shaped how the community understood the building's place in their spiritual life for many centuries.

Practical

Access to the interior is limited since the building is a protected heritage site not regularly open to the public. You can view the facade and architectural details from the street at the corner where it stands in the old town.

Did you know?

This commandry formed part of the Vieux-Joncs grand commandery, one of twelve major administrative divisions of the Teutonic Order within the Holy Roman Empire. This larger structure connected it to a network of order houses spreading across Europe.
