1 Best Sight in Liège, The Meuse and the Ardennes

Eglise St-Barthélemy

Fodor's choice

This church contains Liège’s greatest treasure and one of the Seven Religious Wonders of Belgium: the Baptismal Font of Renier de Huy, which dates from between 1107 and 1118. The brass masterpiece of Art Mosan, weighing half a ton, is decorated in high relief with figures of the five biblical baptismal scenes. They’re depicted with an extraordinary suppleness, and the font rests on 10 oxen, which are also varied and interesting.
