Liège - Collégiale Saint-Barthélemy

The Collegiate Church of St. Bartholomew, was part of a convent, founded outside the city walls of Liège. The building process started in the 11th century. The church got enlarged, altered and modified over the centuries. Only few "modern" traces can be seen on the massive "ottonian" westwork from the 12th century. One is the clock high on the tower. It is 11.55h - too late to see the baptismal font inside, as the church got locked at noontime. The baptismal font is a medieval masterpiece - and I will visit Liège again later.
