Église Saint-Remacle-au-Pont de Liège, Baroque parish church in Amercœur, Belgium

Église Saint-Remacle-au-Pont is a three-aisled church built 1713–1722 in Louis XIII and Louis XIV style, with a single-aisle, three-sided choir. Its dark brick facade, rebuilt in 1948 by architect Jules Foidart, has Tuscan pilasters, a triangular pediment with a relief by Louis Dupont showing the transfer of Saint Remacle's relics, and a niche holding a Virgin statue by Louis Dupont and his pupil Schoofs. The 15th-century tower beside it has three limestone stages and a brick top stage of 1617 under an octagonal spire.

Founded in 1071, the church was first a modest annex of Saint-Amand de Jupille; a Gothic building was destroyed in the 1691 bombardment by Boufflers. The current Louis XIII–Louis XIV church was begun in 1713 by curé Mathieu de Magnery and completed in 1722. The facade, hit by an Allied bomb on 25 December 1944, was rebuilt in 1948 with its original elements.

The suffix "au-Pont" refers to the nearby Pont d'Amercœur and distinguishes the church from the former Saint-Remacle-au-Mont. The pediment relief by Louis Dupont depicts the transfer of Saint Remacle's relics, the event behind the church's founding. Inside, the monumental Robustelly organ, with a 1783 case carved in the school of Jean Del Cour, is listed as Walloon heritage.

The church stands at Rue d'Amercœur 22, just outside the second medieval city wall near the Pont d'Amercœur, in the Amercœur district. The tower of four sections rises beside the nave: its lower three levels are 15th-century Maas limestone, the brick top level dates from 1617, and an octagonal spire crowns it. The facade was restored in 1948 by architect Jules Foidart.

The Notger statue at the tower's foot dates from 1891 and was made by the sculptors H. Rixkens & fils at the initiative of Auguste Meyer, then curé of Saint-Jean; it first stood in the cloister of the collegiate church of Saint-Jean. Notger points at a model of that church, and the base reads HIC REQUIES MEA. The left hand, crozier, right index finger and the model's bell tower are missing.
