Église Saint-Pholien de Liège, Gothic Revival parish church in Outremeuse, Belgium.

The church structure features three naves, five bays, a transept, and a three-sided apse, following the Gothic Revival architectural principles.

Founded in 1189 by Eustache des Prez, the current building was constructed in 1914 after architect Edmond Jamar redesigned it following the previous church demolition.

The interior decorations include a 14th-century statue from Val des Ecoliers Abbey and a silver statue of the Virgin of Tanners from 1687.

Located at Boulevard de la Constitution 1 in Liège, the church now serves as both a religious space and an exhibition venue for multimedia shows.

The church gained literary recognition through Georges Simenon's detective novel 'The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien', which references its reconstruction period.
