The interior of the church contains some remarkable works of art, including 16th-century stained glass windows and the magnificent Lamentation of Christ by Jean Del Cour from 1696.

It's not just the cathedral itself that's worth seeing; The cloister is also worth a visit. In addition to numerous gravestones, including those of former prince-bishops, it also houses the famous treasury (Trésor de Liège).

A predecessor of Saint Paul's Cathedral was founded in 966 by Bishop Eracle (959-971), Notger's immediate predecessor. It is the first church on the island, built on the banks of the Meuse, southwest of the city, i.e. from Saint-Lambert. The current Gothic-style church was built from 1240 and completed between 1417 and 1430, and the cloister was rebuilt from 1445. The church was consecrated on April 11, 1289. The tower was built over in 1804 with the bell tower and the spire. During the restoration (1850–1875), the double aisles of the choir were built and lined with stone balustrades. The north and south gables are decorated with hooks and surmounted by statues.
Internal dimensions: Total length: 82.75 m / Transept length: 33.50 m / Height: 24 m / Nave and choir width: 11 m.

Located in the Belgian city of Liège, the Cathédrale Saint-Paul de Liège is an impressive example of Gothic architecture. Originally built in the 10th century, the cathedral has undergone several construction phases and has been expanded and renovated over the years.

The cathedral is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and its impressive tower, which is approximately 75 meters high. Inside, you will find various works of art, including Baroque altars and sculptures. The cathedral not only serves as a place of worship, but also as an important cultural and historical monument in the region.

Its location on the Meuse and its proximity to other important buildings make the cathedral an important landmark in Liège. It is a popular destination for tourists and worshippers alike.

According to legend, the location for the construction of this church was revealed to the then Bishop Ebrachar in the 10th century by snowfall in the summer.

a MUST - the cathedral impresses with its light and the peace it conveys. Take a few minutes to do this.

Seen the inside of many cathedrals. I have never seen the construction with the canvas stretched in the church before and it creates beautiful light effects.

A cathedral worth seeing and by far the most beautiful sight in Liège! The treasury costs 8€ admission per person (05/2024).
