Église Saint-André de Liège, Parish church in Place du Marché, Liège, Belgium
Church of Saint-André is located at Place du Marché in Liège and features a central plan with six radiating apsidal chapels. The structure is topped by an imperial dome with a curved summit and concave sides.
The building was completed in 1772 and replaced an earlier structure belonging to the Teutonic Order since 1261. The French Revolution ended the Order's religious connection to the site.
The interior displays neoclassical stucco work with paired Corinthian pilasters, apostle figures, and groups of cherubs created by sculptor A.P. Franck. These decorations shape the visual character of the space.
The building is open to visitors but not always accessible, so it is best to check local conditions before visiting. Access is from Place du Marché, a central square in the old town.
Above the portal, not a window, a Latin chronogram reads "DeI-paræ aC anDreæ / CoeLo pro VIDente / ExUtor"; its capital letters (I, C, D, C, L, V, I, D, X, U) add up to 1772, the year the church was consecrated. The same inscription is recorded in the French and Dutch sources.
