École d'armurerie Léon Mignon

École d'armurerie Léon Mignon, Vocational training school in Liège, Belgium.

The École d'armurerie Léon Mignon is a secondary vocational school in central Liège, near place Saint-Lambert. Its building has a pale stone ground floor with arched openings, brick upper storeys banded with stone, and rows of tall rectangular windows; a yellow banner across the facade reads "LEON MIGNON", "ARMURERIE MACHINE-OUTIL" and "BIJOUTERIE GRAVURE".

The school was founded in 1897 when the City of Liège created a training center at the request of the Arms Manufacturers Union to develop skilled workers. This founding reflected Liège's status as a major center for firearms production in Europe.

The school's name honours Léon Mignon, the Liège sculptor to whose memory a relief by Oscar Berchmans was installed at the building's corner in 1906. The yellow banner on the facade lists armurerie, machine-outil, bijouterie and gravure, the trades taught inside. The Encyclopédie des armes de chasse counts the school among the three institutions that made Liège one of Europe's great firearms centres.

The school stands in central Liège near Place Saint-Lambert, at the corner of the building where Oscar Berchmans's 1906 relief honouring Léon Mignon is set. It is a working secondary school, so visits are only possible by prior arrangement with the institution; the facade and the relief can be seen from the public pavement.

At the corner of the school building, a relief by sculptor Oscar Berchmans was installed in 1906 in memory of Léon Mignon, the gunsmith and sculptor after whom the school is named. The Encyclopédie des armes de chasse counts the school among the three institutions that make Liège one of Europe's great firearms centres.
