This district, located outside the Li\u00e8ge city walls, became home to a convent of Recollectine sisters from Huy at the end of the 17th century. In 1695, Joseph-Cl\u00e9ment of Bavaria laid the first stone of this establishment placed under the patronage of Saint Michael. A few years later, in 1715, the nuns obtained funding to build a wall around the cloister. In 1724, they raise funds to buy a small garden with dilapidated houses. <\/p>\n<p>When it was abolished in 1799 following the French Revolution, the property included the convent, the church, the courtyard, the garden with a toilet and a school for the poor.<br \/>The property then changed hands to accommodate in 1828 a flax mill by John Cockerill. The industrialist decides to rebuild the buildings on the model of English industries, in the form of long stepped floors supported by metal columns. Ten years later, the flax mill became the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 lini\u00e8re de Saint-L\u00e9onard and expanded through the acquisition of neighboring buildings.<\/p>\n<p>The building was restored in 1914 following a fire. While the nature of the work is not known, we know that both the interior and the exterior have undergone modifications and that the facade of Quai Saint-L\u00e9onard has been cemented.<br \/>La Lini\u00e8re ceased its textile activities in the 1930s. Subsequently, the premises will serve as a depot for the &#8220;Grand Bazar&#8221; before hosting a printing press between 1958 and 1984.<br \/>During the ten years that followed, La Lini\u00e8re was the subject of a few occasional events and a reassignment study in 1988. <\/p>\n<p>In 1991, it was Jean-Pierre Quatacker, a Brussels businessman and hotel professional, who acquired the flax plant as well as two other abandoned sites forming an island to make it the Hotel Bedford. After 2 years of works, the hotel opened in May 1994. It was only recently, in 2020, that the hotel changed its brand to open its doors under the name of Mercure Li\u00e8ge City Centre<br \/>and welcome in 2021 a new restaurant concept under the name \u201cLa Liniere\u201d, honoring the industrial past of the building.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f7a9255\" data-id=\"f7a9255\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53d40da elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"53d40da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"770\" src=\"https:\/\/laliniereliege.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210609_ADPhotography_MercureLiege_128_HD-1024x986.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1349\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laliniereliege.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210609_ADPhotography_MercureLiege_128_HD-1024x986.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laliniereliege.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210609_ADPhotography_MercureLiege_128_HD-300x289.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laliniereliege.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210609_ADPhotography_MercureLiege_128_HD-768x739.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laliniereliege.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210609_ADPhotography_MercureLiege_128_HD-1536x1478.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/laliniereliege.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/20210609_ADPhotography_MercureLiege_128_HD.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f0c3d5d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f0c3d5d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0c7026d\" data-id=\"0c7026d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40b5e8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"40b5e8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HISTORY The rich past of the buildings of La Lini\u00e8re.
