St James's Church

Liège, Belgium · built 1015

St. James's Church (or in full, the Church of St. James the Less, Église Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur) is a Roman Catholic church located in the center of Liège, Belgium. Originally the abbey church of Saint James Abbey, founded in 1015 by Prince-Bishop Balderic II, successor of Notker, it later became Saint James's Collegiate Church, following the destruction of Saint Peter's Collegiate Church. After the Concordat of 1801, Saint James became a parish church. The main cloister of the abbey was transformed into a public park, and the abbey buildings were demolished.
