St Peter's Church, Liverdun

The tower.

The church stands at the heart of the upper town, which had fortifications in the Middle Ages. Its entrance portal looks out onto a square on which stand a mission cross and the portal of the clergy house, both classified monuments historiques as well.

St Peter's Church is a former collegiate church with a Romanesque tower and a modern belltower. Its 12th-century nave and side aisles have capitals. The transept also dates back to the 12th century; yet its chevet was modified in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The church houses the tombstone of Saint Euchaire— a 16th-century Renaissance gisant in a funeral niche. The interior is also decorated with 18th-century paintings and old mural paintings.

The building was classified a monument historique by an order on November 25th, 1924.[1]

As the pipe organs were in poor condition, a new order was passed to Claude Ignace Callinet. However, the current organ is still in its original state. Its instrumental part is still used today and has been a classified monument historique since 1984.[2]
