The Collegiate Churches Weekend invites the public from October 2nd to 4th, 2026, to explore the rich heritage of Liège through a series of cultural activities.

From October 2nd to 4th, 2026, the Collegiate Churches Weekend offers the public an immersion into several major heritage sites in Liège. A varied program including guided tours, conferences, concerts, and carillon demonstrations will shed light on the history, architecture, and collections of these significant monuments.
Each participating collegiate church will highlight its specific heritage and conservation challenges. The Walloon Heritage Agency (AWaP) will actively participate, offering guided tours at the Archéoforum de Liège and the Saint-Jacques church, the latter providing insight into the monastic life that thrived there for nearly eight centuries (1015-1785).
These events aim to showcase the history of these locations through research, archaeology, and heritage preservation. This annual gathering is a prime opportunity to better understand these emblematic sites and appreciate the diversity of Liège's religious and cultural heritage.
