The Modern Church of Xhovémont
Joseph Sommer · Albert Michel · Joseph Renaud · crypte 1937 · église 1959-1969
Guide :
Sainte-Julienne is a modern church that does not try to look like an old one. Concrete, a timber ceiling, a bright nave and great walls of coloured glass: everything is simple there, yet nothing feels poor. The place is dedicated to Juliana of Cornillon, the Liège figure behind Corpus Christi. Is it the architecture that holds you first, or the light?
The Great Modern Stained Glass Windows
Vitraux modernes de l'Église · 1959-1969
Guide :
Here stained glass does not tell a story scene by scene: it creates an atmosphere. The abstract colours warm the nave, counter the rigour of concrete, and turn the church into an interior lantern. Up close they are fragments; from afar they become a tide of light. What do you notice first, the pieces of glass or the space they create?
