Collégiale Saint-Pierre de Liège, Collegiate church in Liège, Belgium.

The Collégiale Saint-Pierre featured Gothic architecture with a slate spire topped by four turrets, measuring 68 meters in total length with a five-window nave and polygonal choir.

Founded around 712 by Bishop Hubert of Liège on a Merovingian cemetery site, the collegiate church was rebuilt in 922 after Norman destruction and finally demolished between 1810-1860.

The church served as a pilgrimage site for Saint Hubert's relics and housed precious artifacts including the famous Key of Saint Hubert dating from the 12th or 15th century.

Today only archaeological traces remain of this former collegiate church, with its memory preserved through street names like Rue Saint-Pierre and historical documentation in Liège museums.

The collegiate church's crypt contained the original burial site of Saint Hubert before his relics were transferred to the town that now bears his name, Saint-Hubert.
