Église des Rédemptoristes, Baroque former convent church in Hors-Château, Liège, Belgium.

Église des Rédemptoristes is a 17th-century baroque church in Liège. Its red facade is divided by grey stone pilasters and cornices into three tiers, with a central arched wooden door beneath a carved stone cartouche, a large rectangular window above, and a niche holding a pale statue at the top. The interior is a three-aisled pseudobasilica: the central nave rises higher than the narrow side aisles, and pillars crowned with coats of arms support the vault.

Discalced Carmelites settled in Hors-Château in 1618, but a fire in 1630 delayed completion of their church until 1655, when it was consecrated to Saint Teresa and Saint Joseph. Sold during the Revolution, it was bought back by the former Carmelites, then acquired in 1838 by the Redemptorists, who renovated it and had Bishop Van Bommel inaugurate it on 9 December 1839. It was dedicated to Saint Gerard in 1889 and ceded to Saint-Barthélemy College in 1964; the city of Liège now owns it.

The church is also called Saint-Gerard's, to whom it was dedicated in 1889. Pope Gregory XVI gave it the body of Saint Alenia, found in Rome's Priscilla catacomb in 1840; crowds filled the church when it was displayed from 12 to 15 February 1843. The relics left for Horion-Hozémont in 2026.

The church is located near Saint Bartholomew College in the Féronstrée et Hors-Château district. Part of the building currently operates as a hospitality school for the city, so visiting hours may be restricted.

The church's facade once carried the coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Maximilian Henry of Bavaria, held by two sandstone lions carved by Jean Del Cour. The arms are gone, but the lions remain above the portal. Inside, the Carmelites followed services from tribunes set into the choir walls and closed with curtains.
