Saint-Pompée Street (Amay)

Highlight • Trail

The "Rue Saint-Pompée" was already mentioned in the 14th century. The alley led to the old Saint Catherine church, which was demolished at the beginning of the 20th century. The name comes from Saint Pompey, confessor of Saint Ode. According to legend, Saint Ode was guided in her work by her confessor Pompey, who was elevated to sainthood for his dedication to the people. His cult is hardly widespread outside Amay, where farmers invoked him for the protection of cattle. To this day, some still turn to him for certain cases of childhood illnesses.
Halfway along the alley, you can turn to a tomb of a 19th century mayor of Amay. From there, you can look out over the collegiate church.

With its size and three towers, the collegiate church "Saint-George & Saint-Ode" dominates the central square of Amay in an imposing manner.
The building of Romanesque origin was built in the 11th century but has undergone many changes. The major works from the 18th century give the church its current architectural appearance. The originally austere character has made way for a coherent and beautiful profile.
The church is only accessible between 6 April and 14 September, on Saturdays from 11 am to 5 pm. This is a pity, especially because it houses two treasures that are recognised as Heritage of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation: the magnificent Merovingian sarcophagus of the sancta Chrodoara which can be admired through a large glass opening in the choir, at the site of its incredible discovery on 22 January 1977, and the sanctuary of Saint Ode, a masterpiece of Meuse goldsmithing from the 13th century. This church is classified as an exceptional heritage of Wallonia. It was completely restored between 1998 and 2001.

Highlight • Historical Site

The Romanesque tower was built in the 17th century, not far from the historic center, isolated in the alluvial plain of the Meuse and surrounded by a moat.

Amay railway station

Highlight • Structure

The municipality of Amay has a station in three of its five sub-municipalities: besides Amay itself, also in Flône (a little further towards Liège) and in Ampsin (a little further towards Huy).
In the meantime, all three have become train stops without ticket office service.
The station building of Amay is now a library and a toy library.
