Église Saint-Servais

Saint-Servais is a parish church in Liège with three naves that extend toward a three-section choir, and a square tower built from coal sandstone and limestone. The interior is structured by this classic layout that creates space for worship and gathering.

The original building was founded in 933 by Bishop Richer, making it one of the oldest religious buildings of medieval Liège. A major fire in 1981 severely damaged the roof and interior, leading to extensive restoration work.

The church displays Gothic features such as pointed arches and tracery windows that give the facade an ornate character. Visitors can admire the stonework and religious details that reflect the craftsmanship of earlier periods.

The building is located on Rue Fond Saint-Servais in Liège and is accessible on foot. Visitors should note that the church interior may not be freely accessible during services or private ceremonies.

The tower dates to the 10th or 11th century and is the oldest part of the entire complex. What stands out is that this structure survived the destruction of Liège in 1468 by Charles the Bold, when large sections of the city burned.
