One of Liège's most beautiful castles, originating in the 11th century, completely surrounded by a moat. Striking are the checkerboard facades in limestone and brown sandstone and the pepper-pot-like turrets. Various owners succeeded one another over the centuries. For two centuries (16th-17th century), it was owned by the powerful de Merode family, who gave the castle its current appearance. They sold it to the Van den Steen family in 1720. The last descendant of the family, Count Guy vanden Steen, bequeathed it to the province in 1999. He was a sculptor, among other things, and many of his bronze statues still adorn the gardens. He did, however, incorporate a distinctive symbolism, depicting nude female figures mating with beetles. The 22-hectare estate also features an Italian ornamental garden with water features and bronze statues, a 19th-century vegetable garden with orangeries, a 19th-century icehouse, and many listed trees. The castle also has its own church within the moat on a peninsula. Over the centuries, the owners have amassed numerous curiosities that can be seen in the castle, which is now a provincial property and open to visitors.

St. Paul's Cathedral, full name Cathédrale de la Conversion de Saint-Paul et de l'Assomption de Marie (Cathedral of the Conversion of Paul and the Assumption of Mary into Heaven), is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Liège.

Also known as the Lieutenant-Médecin Joncker Quarter, the Military Hospital of Liège, or more simply, the Saint-Laurent Hospital. Founded in the 11th century, the abbey lost its religious purpose at the beginning of the 19th century when its church was destroyed in 1809. It served as a military hospital until the Battle of Waterloo, then as a barracks under the Dutch regime; in 1836, the Belgian army decided to restore it to a hospital. During the two world wars, the hospital was occupied by the Germans. At the end of September 1944, the Americans established the 15th General Hospital there. On November 24, 1944, an aerial bomb destroyed part of the hospital, killing 24 people. The Belgian army returned to the site in June 1945, which was renamed the Lieutenant-Médecin Joncker Quarter, after the heroic Liégeois of the First World War. In 1990, the Liège Military Hospital was closed and replaced by a polyclinic, which itself closed at the end of 1993.

It is a building dating from 1719 to the end of the 18th century, with a core dating back to the 16th century. The tower of the old church is integrated into the castle. Nature and
