And the first object that tourists should certainly visit, one of the most beautiful and original structures of Liege - Church of Saint Bartholoma (St Bartholomew's church). The collegial church was built back in the XI century and was originally framed in the Romanesque style. However, after two centuries, the central structure was supplemented with neoclassical complements. And in this form, the church appears to parishioners and guests for ten centuries.

In some rooms, the walls of the walls are made of carved wooden panels, and there is a wonderful stucco on the ceilings. I really liked the staircase leading to the second floor of the mansion.
