Église Collégiale St

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:41:09

This large Rhenish-style church has twin Saxon-style towers and a cream-and-cerise exterior. It houses a famous 1118 baptismal font that’s one of the world’s most celebrated pieces of Mosan art; the great brass bowl was rescued from St-Lambert’s Cathedral when it was demolished in 1793. It rests on oxen figures and is adorned with five baptismal scenes, elaborately described in a video screened nearby. To glimpse the font for free, peer through the long, narrow slit window in the church’s western end.
