Couvent des Guillemins de Liège, Religious monastery in Liège, Belgium
The Guillemins Monastery extended over 10 hectares of land near the Meuse River, featuring a main building north of Place de Bronckart.
Founded in 1280 by Canon Griseal de Bierset as a hospice for infirm priests, the monastery transformed in 1287 under Bishop Jean de Flandre's reorganization.
The monastery maintained strong religious influence in Liège until 1796, housing twenty-three monks at its peak during the 18th century.
The site of the former monastery now hosts the Liège-Guillemins railway station, marking the transformation from religious heritage to modern infrastructure.
The monastery's lands were surrounded by moats filled with filtered water, as documented by Pierre Lambert de Saumery in 1738.
