St Bartholomew's Church, Liège
St Bartholomew's Church, Liège, Romanesque collegiate church in Féronstrée et Hors-Château, Liège, Belgium.
St Bartholomew's Church is a Romanesque church in central Liège with distinctive twin towers and a neoclassical front entrance. Inside, it preserves carved stone columns, vaulted ceilings, and a remarkable medieval baptismal font decorated with detailed relief scenes.
Construction began in 1010, making it one of the seven original collegiate churches established under the Prince-bishopric of Liège. Over the centuries, alterations and extensions adapted it to different architectural styles while maintaining its core Romanesque structure.
The church is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew and its design reflects the religious importance it held for worshippers over the centuries. Today visitors can observe the ornate details and understand how this place was central to the spiritual life of the city.
The church is easy to reach at Place Saint-Barthélemy in the old town center where you can view it from different angles. Plan your visit during daylight hours to appreciate the carved stone details and the interior fully.
The baptismal font inside was created in the 12th century by artist Renier de Huy and displays Greek artistic influences that were uncommon for such works at that time. This masterwork combines medieval craftsmanship with classical models in an unexpected way.
