Since the beginning of our era, the heritage centre of Amay has undergone ten structural transformations. Every two centuries on average, the successors of Chrodoara - sainte Ode have adapted the site (sanctuary, cloister, canon houses) according to the needs of worship. The collegiate church is part of Wallonia's exceptional building heritage. It houses two FWB Treasures and numerous works of art related to worship, all of which are remarkable. The Amay Museum of Archaeology and Religious Art, which is currently being refurbished, will be open to visitors by way of exception.

Saint George and Saint Ode
Located in the historic center of Amay, the collegiate church looks good and catches the eye with its imposing mass and three majestic towers.
The building of Romanesque origin was built in the 11th century but underwent many transformations. The major works of the 18th century will give the church its current architectural aspect. The harsh nature of the origins has given way to a coherent and embellished profile.
The church houses two Treasures recognised as part of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation's heritage: the superb Merovingian sarcophagus of Saint Chrodoara, which can be admired through a large glass opening in the choir, where it was discovered on 22 January 1977, and the shrine of Saint Ode, a masterpiece of 13th century Mosan goldsmithery.
This church is classified as an exceptional heritage site in Wallonia. It was completely restored between 1998 and 2001.
