Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception

In front of you, the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception offers one of Liège’s finest Baroque façades. Built in the 17th century by the Discalced Carmelites and later restored by the Redemptorists in the 19th century, it blends religious history with spectacular architecture. Its three-storey façade, adorned with columns, niches and especially the two lions sculpted by Jean Del Cour, is a true stone backdrop. Inside — now closed to the public — one would find a Latin-cross layout, three naves and a refined Baroque décor, as well as the relics of Saint Alénie, given in 1840 by Pope Gregory XVI. Although it can no longer be visited, the church remains a jewel of the Hors-Château district, bearing witness to four centuries of spiritual and artistic life in the heart of old Liège.
