The church of Limbourg, in the province of Liège, in the Walloon Region is an emblematic monument of the historic city.
The church bears the patronymic of Saint George, patron saint of knights and of Burgundy, of which Limbourg was a part in the 15th century. It was classified as a monument on December 30, 1933 and is part of the architectural ensemble of the upper town which was listed as an Exceptional Heritage of the Walloon Region in July 1993.
Saint-Georges Church is located on a rocky outcrop overlooking a bend in the Vesdre. Its choir and crypt protruding from the surrounding wall of the old fortified city.
It is the precious witness of several eras. Originally there was a Romanesque chapel, probably dating from the end of the 12th century; it is noted as early as 1172. This chapel essentially comprised a large nave facing east as it should be and ending on this side with a flat apse. It was lit by three semicircular bays, still visible to the south.
Around 1301, this chapel was enlarged by one span adopting the Gothic style and had two intermediate naves, visible inside. And above all, it is also given a role of defense and refuge: a powerful square tower is erected to the west.
