The Collegial Notre-Dame of Huy

 

Nederlands versie

 

 

The first stone of Collegial, dedicated to Notre-Dame, was posed in the year 1311. The chorus was finished in 1377 and all the work completed in 1536. The building is a happy mixture of Gothic radiating with the 14 E century and blazing of the 15 E century. At outside, the attention is drawn by the enormous turn of square plan formerly surmounted by an arrow set fire to in 1803.

 

 

Two others turns flank the chorus. A large radiant rosette, Li Rondia , were equipped recently with new stained glasses due to Master R. Julin (external diameter: 9 m, internal diameter: 6 m).

In the right side aisle, a staircase led to the Romance crypt of the church built by Théoduin of Bavaria (1066).
The semicircular central apse is decorated of large a Christ in cross of the end of the 12 E century.

 

The Collegial one shelters also a prestigious treasure whose principal parts are four large mountings of the 12 E and 13 E centuries.

 

Li Rondia

The largest rosette, of radiant style, in Belgium.

Its diameter is 6 meters, it is 9 meters if one includes/understands there the profiled stones which form its framing.
