Gothic palace · 20 min · free courtyard · one of the largest Gothic civil buildings · now a law court

For eight centuries, Liège was a principality ruled by its bishops, and this was their palace. Notger built the first residence around the year 1000, Érard de La Marck gave it its present appearance from 1526 and, after a fire in 1734, the facade on the Place Saint-Lambert was rebuilt in classical style. It is often presented as one of the largest Gothic civil buildings in the world, and today it is a law court and the seat of the provincial government.
The visit
The first courtyard, with its carved columns, can be seen in passing; the interior is not open to free visits. Opposite, the Place Saint-Lambert occupies the site of the old cathedral, demolished after the Revolution.
