Holy Cross Church, Liège, Catholic collegiate church in Place Verte, Belgium.
Holy Cross Church is a Catholic collegiate church in Liège that blends Gothic, Gothic Revival, and Romanesque architectural styles throughout its structure. The building sits at the corner of Rue Sainte-Croix and Rue Haute-Sauvenière, showcasing construction and design elements from different periods.
Bishop Notger founded the church between 976 and 986 as a center for secular canons to conduct their religious duties. A community of these clerics remained in place until the Liège Revolution ended their role in 1797.
The church served as a spiritual center where worshippers and pilgrims came to venerate the Holy Cross shrine for centuries. This role shaped how the place was used and valued by generations of visitors who sought its religious collections.
The church sits at Place Verte with direct access via multiple surrounding streets, making it straightforward to find and approach. It stays open throughout the week for religious services, giving visitors the chance to step inside and see the interior.
The church treasury once held the original Key of Saint Hubert, a religious artifact of deep reverence that was transferred from another church. This remarkable relic represents a rare connection to medieval devotional objects that visitors can learn about today.
