Recollect Convent of Liège

The convent of the Recollects or the Jerusalem convent was a convent located in Liège, founded at the end of the 15th century and belonging to the Order of the Recollect Minor Brothers, a Franciscan order. This convent, situated in the Outremeuse district, on Georges Simenon street, along the walls of the City, would accommodate over 80 fathers and participate in the life of the City of Liège until the French Revolution. Fully renovated, the building currently houses the Georges Simenon youth hostel.

The convent will be located at the site of the current Saint-Nicolas church and Georges Simenon youth hostel. The Regular Canons of the Good Children, Augustinians from the congregation of Wildesheim, wished to leave the Good Children behind Saint-Hubert to settle in Jerusalem.
