Couvent des Récollets de Liège, Franciscan convent in Outremeuse district, Liège, Belgium.

The Récollets Convent stands along the medieval city walls of Liège, featuring architectural elements from different historical periods in its structure.

The convent, founded in the late 15th century, housed up to eighty Franciscan friars until its religious function ended during the French Revolution in 1796.

The religious community dedicated their efforts to helping the sick and poor while maintaining educational activities for young people in Liège.

The former convent buildings now function as the Simenon Youth Hostel, providing accommodation for travelers in the Outremeuse neighborhood.

The convent church was dedicated to Our Lady and Saint Barbara, incorporating specific architectural features that reflected the religious order's values.
