The St. Paul's Cathedral

The St. Paul's Cathedral in Liège is the main church of the Diocese of Liège. The church was founded in the tenth century by Bishop Heraclius on an island enclosed by two arms of the Meuse River. Until the French Revolution, it was one of the seven chapter churches in the city. With the Concordat of 1801, St. Paul was elevated to the new cathedral of the diocese, as the ancient St. Lambert Cathedral had been demolished during the Liège Revolution in 1794.
The upper lintel of the portal bears an inscription that once adorned the seal of the city: Legia Ecclesiae Romanae Filia (Liège, daughter of the Roman church). Some artworks in the cathedral were transferred from the former St. Lambert Cathedral. Noteworthy are the stained glass windows from the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, a white marble reclining statue of Christ in Baroque style by Jean Del Cour, and the nineteenth-century furnishings. The cathedral's treasure includes ivory work from the eleventh century, a reliquary bust of St. Lambert, a golden reliquary donated by Charles the Bold, and other gold and silver smithing.
