The Church of St. Denis in Liège, Belgium, is a former fortified collegiate church, founded by Notker of Liège in 987 and first consecrated on 12 March 990.[1] The tower was added around 1100. The church has since 1936 been registered as a listed building, and is currently listed as "exceptional heritage" of Wallonia.[2]

History

The collegiate church was suppressed in 1797, but the building was taken into use as a parish church in 1803.[3]
