St Peter's Church, Liverdun

St Peter's Church (église Saint-Pierre de Liverdun) is a 12th-century Roman Catholic parish church in Liverdun, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France. It has been classified as a monument historique by the Ministry of Culture since 1924.

Location
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 stands a mission cross and the portal of the clergy house, both classified monuments and historiques.

History
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 as a monument historique by an order on November 25, 1924.

Organs
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 and has been a classified monument historique since 1984.

Portals
The western portal was modified but a part of the old sculpture is still visible today.
