Malmédy - Cathédrale Saints-Pierre, Paul et Quirin

In the Place du Châtelet, not far east from the Place de Rome, rise the plain towers of the Cathedral of Saints-Pierre, Paul et Quirin. It was built between 1775 and 1784 as an abbey church and in 1921, when Malmédy became a bishopric (until 1925), it was raised to the status of a cathedral. The quite simple interior, designed by the architect Galhausen, has 18th C. choir stalls, a "Virgin with Child" ascribed to Delcour, and the reliquary of St Quirinus as well as a silver reliquary bust of St Gereon and his companion (18th C.).
