Collegiate Church of St Peter, Liège

It was founded in 712 by bishop Hubertus on the site of a Merovingian cemetery (the latter was rediscovered in the 19th century) and construction began that same year.

Intending it as a monastery church, the bishop also built a cloister and brought in 15 monks from Stavelot Abbey.

On his death in 727, the church's crypt became Hubert's first resting place, before his body was moved to Andage (now Saint-Hubert) in the Ardennes.Ardennes.

It was finally closed in 1797 in the wake of the Liège Revolution and demolished in 1811, though the foundations of the former cloister survived until 1860.
