Stepping inside, you are greeted by a serene, dimly lit interior with thick stone walls and rounded arches. The church houses a beautiful baptismal font and several medieval sculptures. The atmosphere is one of ancient spirituality, offering a quiet escape from the bustling city. The church is part of a former collegiate foundation, and its history is deeply intertwined with the religious life of Liège.
