Liège - Collégiale Saint-Barthélemy

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.

Die 2 Türme sind sehr ähnlich wie die Türme der romanischen Pfarrkirche in Clerf (Luxemburg), letztere allerdings hat eine Steinfassade.
Schönes Bild!

Danke für den Hinweis. Ich habe mir die Kirche in Clerf im Web gerade angesehen. Das Westwerk ist sehr unterschiedlich, aber Türme und Helme sind in der Tat sehr ähnlich.
