cathédrale des saints Pierre, Paul et Quirin - Malmedy - Belgique - Cathedrals on Waymarking.com

[FR]

"C’était l’église abbatiale de Malmedy. La Cathédrale fut construite en pierres de la région malmédienne, les pierres d’arkose. C’est un incontournable du patrimoine architectural de la ville, avec son style de renaissance et sa forme de croix latine. Sa construction date d’entre 1776 et 1784. A l’intérieur, son autel de la Sainte Vierge, en marbre, est toujours d’origine, ainsi que ses quatre confessionnaux et sa chaire de vérité. Les vitraux ne sont pas d’origine car ils ont été détruits pendant les bombardements de décembre 1944. Le carillon fut construit en 1786 et est composé de 35 cloches authentiques, fabriquées par un malmédien "Martin Legros".

C’est en 1921 seulement, qu’elle obtient le titre de Cathédrale, durant le diocèse d’Eupen-Malmedy (1919-1925). La cathédrale détient aussi le reliquaire de Saint-Quirin. Ses trésors se trouvent au Malmundarium."

"It was the abbey church of Malmedy. The Cathedral was built using stones from the Malmed region, arkose stones. It is a must-see of the city's architectural heritage, with its renaissance style and its Latin cross shape. Its construction dates from between 1776 and 1784. Inside, its altar of the Blessed Virgin, in marble, is still original, as well as its four confessionals and its pulpit of truth. The stained glass windows are not original because they were destroyed during the bombings of December 1944. The carillon was built in 1786 and is made up of 35 authentic bells, made by a Malmedian "Martin Legros".

It was only in 1921 that it obtained the title of Cathedral, during the diocese of Eupen-Malmedy (1919-1925). The cathedral also holds the reliquary of Saint-Quirin. Its treasures are found in the Malmundarium."
