LIÈGE, A CITY, A SPIRIT
As the most important tourist city
in Wallonia, Liège has innumerable
riches in store waiting to be discovered. The characteristic districts,
the river Meuse, which transects
from South to North, the abrupt
and wooded hills surrounding it as
well as its marked relief, providing
a multitude of original perspectives give the city an exceptional
charm.
A very current folklore kept alive
by a positive-minded population,
always ready for a feast, lively
districts and a large number of
restaurants all combine to make
this an essential part of any trip to
Belgium, not to mention its vigorous cultural and artistic life and
a considerable architectural heritage.

Some famous characters
SAINT-LAMBERT (mid-7th century - 17 September 705?)
Bishop of Maastricht, Lambert reproached Pippin of Herstal for his adulterous
relationship with Alpaida. Dodon, brother of the latter, arranged for the assassination of Lambert. Bishop Hubert, his successor, had his relics repatriated
to the place of his martyrdom and transferred the seat of the bishopric from
Maastricht to Liège.
Charlemagne (742 – 814)
Whilst the emperor’s place of birth is uncertain, the Liège region is often put
forward by historians. Whatever the case, this figure is deeply rooted in the
popular history and traditions of Liège. It was under his reign that the capital of
the Tongeren-Maastricht bishopric was definitively transferred to Liège.
Notger (930 ? – 1008)
The first prince-bishop of Liège (972). He played a key role in the construction,
development and fortification of the city of Liège. Notger was at the origin of
the formation of the principality of Liège, a vast, rich and independent territory.
Lambert Lombard (1505 –1566)
This Liège painter was one of the most versatile personalities in the Belgian cultural life of his time. As a painter, architect, engraver, archaeologist, collector,
numismatist, mythologist, man of letters, art historian, inter alia... He is the perfect illustration of the definition of the artistic ideal of the Renaissance.
Jean Del Cour (1627 – 1707)
Liège is littered with the works of this Baroque artist: sculptures, paintings, pediments… Amongst the most famous are: Christ in the tomb in the cathedral, the
Virgin of Vinâve d’Île, the fountain of St. John the Baptist of rue Hors-Château,
and the Three Graces on the Perron.

André-modeste grétry (1741 – 1813)
Born in Liège into a family of musicians, his initial musical training was followed
by studies in Rome. Encouraged by Voltaire, he took his chances in Paris where
his comic operas met with overwhelming success.
César Franck (1822 – 1890)
Franck was a student at the Royal Music School in Liège, founded by William I
of the Netherlands. He then entered the Paris conservatoire and engaged in
concert tours in France, Belgium and Germany, for which he wrote compositions.
Zénobe gramme (1826 – 1901)
Inventor of the first direct current dynamo, whose application revolutionised
the industrial world and everyday life.
Eugène Ysaye (1858 – 1931)
A violinist who left his mark and that of his interpretative genius on the world
musical scene, with his contemporary musical compositions.
Georges simenon (1903 – 1989)
Creator of the Inspector Maigret, author of a multitude of novels, who never
forgot his Liège origins. Many of his works also refer to locations in Liège.
Jacques Pelzer (1924 – 1994)
Jazz saxophonist and flautist from Liège, Jacques Pelzer was mainly an exponent of jazz impregnated with bebop and cool jazz. A jazz club located in the
Thier-à-Liège district is named after him.

Walking route suggestions
It is on foot that you can discover the real gems of the city, in its streets, its secret
ginnels, in courtyards and gardens, on squares...
There are several walks to follow, depending on your mood and desires. All
the maps for our walks can be obtained from the Tourist Information Office.
You can also consult them by downloading our app “Balades liégeoises”(Walks
through Liège).
THE Hill OF THE CITADEL
 in the Michelin Greenguide
Just a few steps from the place Saint-Lambert (the main square), the Hill of the
Citadel is a vast green space right in the heart of the city, with 86 ha of green
space, terraces, and paths... on a steep hill.
LIE GE
With over 60 monuments and listed historic sites, this special location contains many examples of the old landscape of the city.
There are spectacular sites such as the steps of the Montagne
de Bueren or the panoramas from the boulevards of the Citadel.
LES COTEAUX
DE LA CITADEL
LE
Marked out itineraries of varying length are suggested for
walkers, starting from the esplanade Saint-Léonard or 38, rue
Pierreuse.
A route map with pictures and commentary is available at the
Tourist Office.
The collegiate churches circuit
As capital of an ecclesiastical principality during eight centuries, the City of
Liège was an important political, religious, artistic and cultural centre at the
heart of medieval Europe. It was therefore natural for many ecclesiastical institutions to establish themselves there.
Alongside the regular clergy, the secular clergy occupied a significant place:
no less than seven collegiate churches were created around the year one
thousand AD, in addition to the Cathedral of Our Lady and Saint-Lambert.
Today, these collegiate churches are the privileged witnesses of the city’s prestigious past. You can follow a circuit to discover them and learn about their
history.

or Curtius (1551-1627). It gathers together collections of religious and Mosan art, arms, decorative arts, glass and archaeology. It is made
up of various period buildings and buildings in
different styles. Monday to Sunday: 10am-6pm.
Closed on Tuesdays.
6
Collegiate church of Saint-Bartholomew
This collegiate church is built in greywacke
dating from the 11th and 12th centuries. The
interior was re-worked in the 18th century in
the Baroque style. The exterior was recently restored in the original style.
Inside: baptismal font, a gold- and silversmith
masterwork of the early 12th century. Due to the
high quality of its reliefs and their execution, it is
considered one of the seven marvels of Belgium.
On the square: Les Principautaires, a sculpture
by Mady Andrien (1992). It symbolises metallurgy and the struggle of the people against the
prince-bishops.
7
Cour Saint-Antoine (Saint-Antoine Yard)
A collection of apartment buildings and houses
designed by the architect Charles Vandenhove
(1979) incorporating a group of 17th and 18th
century constructions in the rue Hors-Château.
The inspiration of the Sculpture of the Tikal fountain is Mayan (1982).
8
Hors-Château
The most beautiful route through old Liège owes
its name to the fact that it is outside the first
city wall (10th century). Literally, Hors-château
means “outside the castle” in French. From the
14th century, it was the headquarters of the
nobility and religious institutions. Old patrician
houses of the 17th and 18th century, some of
which are decorated with richly ornate emblems line the road.
Impasses : typical side streets in which the staff
of the private mansions of the Hors-Château
district used to live.

Church of ‘Notre-Dame-de-l’ImmaculéeConception’
The former church of the discalced Carmelites
(1st half of the 17th century), subsequently a
Redemptorist church, is also commonly known as
the church of Saint Gérard. Baroque façade with
the coats of arms of prince-bishop MaximilianHeinrich of Bavaria. Closed to the public.
10
Convent of the Ursulines
This religious community has given its name to one
of the neighbouring impasses.
11
Montagne de Bueren (374 steps)
This is a work of art characteristic of the early 19th
century, giving direct access from the barracks of
the Citadel to the town centre. The name of these
steps recall the failed coup by six hundred men
of Franchimont, a neighbouring village, that took
place on the evening of 29 October 1468 against
the armies of Charles The Bold and Louis XI. The
name of this flight of steps comes from one of their
leaders, Vincent de Bueren.
12
Fountain of St. John the Baptist
Statue (1667) and bas-relief in bronze (baptism of
Christ) by Jean Del Cour (1631-1707).
13
Musée de la Vie wallonne
The Museum of Walloon Life is established in the
former convent of the friars minor (17th century)
which was entirely restored and reworked in 2008.
The cloister is linked to the house of the superior
of the convent by a gallery above a porch. This
museum houses a collection of numerous objects and documents relating to everyday life in
Wallonia. The former church of Saint-Antoine: the
former convent church accessible during temporary exhibitions. Monumental Baroque reworked
façade from the 17th century.
14
Fountain of Tradition
Re-built in 1719. On three of the faces are bas-reliefs
by Georges Petit (1879-1958) evocative of typical
aspects of Liège folklore: marionettes, botteresses
(typical female characters carrying a basket to
deliver goods) and cramignons (popular dance).
12
Walking route
15
Place du Marché
The “Place du Marché”, or Market Square in French, was the town’s main
square from its origins to the 19th century. As a centre for trade and civil liberties, it was the theatre of major local events. Most of the houses date from the
end of the 17th and 18th centuries.
16
Church of Saint-André
This former church of the Teutonic knights is recognisable by its cupola (17651772). It was used as a grain market after the Revolution. Accessible only for
temporary exhibitions.
17
the Perron
This monument symbolises the freedoms of the people of Liège. The Perron
stands on top of a fountain: the Three Graces (by Jean Del Cour) are at its summit and carry a pine cone from which in turn a cross rises. After the sacking of
Liège in 1468 by Charles The Bold, it was taken to Bruges and returned in 1478
by his daughter Mary of Burgundy.
18
Town Hall
Traditionally called La Violette, after the emblem of the house that accommodated the city council in the Middle Ages. It was destroyed in 1468 and in 1691
and rebuilt in the classical style between 1714 and 1718. In the interior, there are
remarkable décors in sculpted wood.
19
Place Saint-Lambert
Until the Revolution (1794), this space was entirely filled by a large cathedral dedicated to the Virgin and to Saint Lambert, assassinated on this spot
(circa 705). The alignment of its walls is shown today by metal pillars and
the former ground plan is represented in the layout of the paving stones.
20
Palace of the Prince-Bishops
This palace is an exceptional architectural grouping (courtyard, peristyle, 1525;
main façade, 1734; West wing, 1849) occupied by the court house and provincial government offices. Prince-bishop Erard de la Marck gave it its current
appearance in 1526. The building comprises two courtyards, only the first of
which is accessible to the public. The 60 columns surmounted by capitals richly
ornamented with fantastical human figures and grotesque masques, each different, are a testimony of humanist thinking of the Renaissance and the discovery of the New World.
21
Archeoforum : what’s hiding under the square
The place Saint Lambert conceals vestiges from the very oldest occupations of
the city: prehistoric remains, walls of a Gallo-Roman villa, remains of medieval
buildings including the remains of the Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals...
Walking route
13
THE CATHEDRAL DISTRICT
This walk enables you to explore the old quarter of the Île (island), occupied
since the end of the 10th century by numerous collegiate churches and religious institutions and currently the heart of the city with its businesses but also its

Office or at www.liege.be/tourisme
BASILIQUE SAINT-MARTIN
Mont-Saint-Martin
The basilica of St. Martin is a former collegiate church founded in the 10th century and burned down in 1312. The new square tower was completed in c.
1410. The Gothic choir and nave are from the 16th century. A Calvary (early
16th century), a mausoleum of Bishop Eracle, a fine statue of Notre-Dame
de Saint-Séverin in polychrome wood (16th century), the chapel of the Holly
Sacrement, decorated with medallions by Del Cour (18th century), remarkable
stained glass windows (16th century), the pulpit (early 18th century), souvenirs
of the Corpus Christi, high altar, and, in the crypt, a recumbent statue in Theux
black marble.
CATHÉDRALE SAINT-PAUL
Place Cathédrale
The collegiate church of St. Paul, founded in the 10th century, in the 19th century became the new cathedral of Liège, replacing the cathedral of SaintLambert which was destroyed in the Liège revolution. Stained glass windows
from the 16th century and contemporary period, a Baroque white marble
Christ recumbent by Del Cour, exceptional 19th century furniture. The cathedral has one of the finest Gothic cloisters in the country.
collégiale SAINT-BARTHÉLEMY
Place Saint-Barthélemy
The collegiate church of St. Bartholomew was founded between 1010 and 1015
outside the city walls. It boasts of a characteristic Rheno-Mosan architectural
style. It was built in greywacke, in the period from the end of the 11th century
(choir) until the last decades of the 12th century. Remarkable Liège Baroque
furniture. The interior of the East wing is exceptional in its galleries and has partly
recovered its original appearance.
BAPTISMAL FONT OF THE COLLEGIATE
CHURCH OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW
The church houses one of the universal masterpieces
of Romanesque sculpture, considered to be one of the
seven marvels of Belgium: a baptismal font in brass (11071118) originating from Notre-Dame-aux-Fonts, the former
baptistery of the city. This church, formerly abutting the
cathedral of Saint-Lambert, was destroyed with it at the
end of the 18th century.
22
monuments and Churches
collégiale SAINT-DENIS
Rue Cathédrale
This collegiate church was founded in 987 by bishop Notger. The West façade
in greywacke was probably part of the city’s defensive system. Fine Baroque
furniture, statuary, and organ case. Cloister rebuilt in the 18th century.
collégiale SAINT-JEAN-l’évangéliste
Place Xavier Neujean
The collegiate church of St. John-the-Evangelist was founded in the 10th century by bishop Notger, on the model of the Carolingian palatine chapel of
Aachen (Germany). Rotunda, side chapels and choir rebuilt in the 18th century. The interior has a Neo-Classical décor and fine sculptures.
collégiale SAINTE-CROIX’
Rue Saint-Pierre
The collegiate church of the Holy Cross was founded in 979 by bishop Notger.
A section of wall in sandstone survives from the original construction. The West
choir, which is Romano-Gothic (end of the 12th, early 13th century), contains
an Invention of the Holy Cross by Bertholet Flémal (17th century). The East apse
dates from the 13th century, the naves from the 14th century and the side
chapels from the 15th century. Its three naves of equal height make it one of
the rare hall type churches in the region.
ÉGLISE SAINT-JACQUES
Place Saint-Jacques
The church of the Benedictine abbey of St. James was founded in 1015. This
church built in the flamboyant Gothic style was reconstructed between 1514
and 1538. The interior decoration is luxuriant, with sculptures by Del Cour (end
17th century), an organ case (1600) and remarkable stained glass windows. It
also contains an exceptional vault with over 150 keystones in the central nave.
Definitely one of the finest buildings in the country.
THE BULL-TAMER
Avenue Rogier
This sculpture by Léon Mignon is known by the popular Walloon name of Li Torê
(lit. “The bull”). When it was originally installed in 1881, this work caused quite a
controversy due to the nudity of the tamer. Subsequently the university students
adopted it as their emblem and annually celebrate the Saint-Torê.
GUILLEMINS RAILWAY STATION, BY SANTIAGO CALATRAVA
Place des Guillemins
This railway station is a master work (2009) in glass and concrete by one of the
great exponents of contemporary architecture.

Theâtre royal – OPéRA
(Koninklijke Schouwburg)
Place de l’opéra
This opera house was built by Auguste Dukers
(1818-1820) on the site of the former Dominican
convent, demolished in the Liège revolution. The Pediment was decorated by Oscar
Berchmans with allegorical figures in 1930. The
auditorium which was transformed by the architect Rémont in 1861, is decorated with a
ceiling painted by Émile Berchmans (1903).
Just renovated, the building is now topped by
a brand new modern structure.
PALAIS DES PRINCES-ÉVÊQUES
(PALACE OF THE PRINCE-BISHOPS)
Place Saint-Lambert
Notger built the first residence of the princebishops on this site in the year 1000. The palace
burned down and was rebuilt several times.
The restoration was completed in the 18th century with the construction of a new façade. The
Neo-Gothic wing was added in the 19th century on the Notger square. The palace has two
courtyards, but only the first one is accessible. It
is surrounded by four galleries with Gothic vaults
resting on 60 columns decorated with fantastic human figures and grotesque masques.
This building currently hosts the law courts
and is the seat of the provincial government.
PERRON
Place du Marché
The Perron is the most famous monument
among locals. It was adapted at the end of
the 17th century by Jean Del Cour. Symbol of
the liberties of Liège, it is surmounted by Three
Graces carrying a pine cone crowned with a
cross.
Pont de Fragnée
The Fragnée bridge was built for the Universal
Exhibition in 1905, in the spirit of the pont
Alexandre-III in Paris. From each end of the
bridge one can admire two “Renommées”
statues (angels playing the trumpet) of fine gilt
work.

so
many
wonderful places to eat that
the most difficult part of eating
out is choosing where to go.
From an inexpensive snack
to a luxury dinner, from local
specialities to exotic dishes, you
will always find food suited to
your desires.
For foodies looking to discover
new tastes, take a bite out of
the traditional cuisine of Liège.
On the menu: boulets frites (giant meat-balls and fries/chips),
salade liégeoise (green beans,
potatoes, diced bacon), fricassee (omelette with bacon
or sausage), rognons de veau
(veal kidneys), gaufre de Liège

pèkèt
Pèkèt is the local version of
gin (juniper spirit). Whether
natural or flavoured (lemon,
strawberry, melon, violet,
etc.), it is the traditional drink
of the Liège festivities, but it
is also drunk every day in the
many bistros of the city. Pèkèt
is also an essential ingredient
of the regional cuisine.

Loncin Fort
Probably unique in the world, this listed site has remained in the state in which
it found itself on 15th August 1914 after the terrible explosion that destroyed it.

It is a refuge to many sometimes rare
animal and plant species.

magnificent park, but also a site for cultivation and experimentation. There are

including rare species). There is also a sequoia from the Californian coniferous
family, planted in 1916.

Cockerill Castle
It served as a summer house for the Prince-Bishops of Liège. The date on which
the first foundations were laid is unknown. It was here that the Seraing peace
treaty was agreed in 1307. After having been transformed into a hospital for
Napoleon’s troops, it became the senatorship of Liège, then a gun-powder
store, before becoming the personal property of King William of the Netherlands.
Via an act dated 29th January 1817, he sold it to the Cockerill brothers. The
castle today plays host to offices.
