There has been a house of worship here since 1390, although the building served as a meeting place for the town council in the early 19th century. The oldest parts of the current church are from 1615, including the belltower replacing one that had collapsed. Over the centuries the church has been modified and rebuilt in different styles, the latest reconstruction in 1888 included the choir, side aisles and transept.

All of the "good cities" of the principality had one of these monuments; a stone pillar with a cross-bearing orb on top standing on a set of stairs. First occupying the place where the Ambiorix statue now stands, it was first moved in 1886 and has been on its current place since 1985.
Standhuis en belfort
Originally at Grote Markt, the town hall was burned together with the rest of the city in 1677. It was built between 1737 and 1750 in bricks in classical style, inspired by the city hall of Liège. The front pediment has a coat of arms of Georges-Louis de Berghes, the Prince-Bishop of Liège at the time. The building is not open to visitors.
Beguine Museum
The museum is located in an authentic Beguine house that dates from 1660, with its surrounding gardens. Everything is set up like it was back in the day. In the cellar you can taste traditional Beguine beer (Dagelyckx) or lemonade. There's also a souvenir shop-
Standbeeld van Ambiorix
Completed in 1866, this statue depicts the fearsome leader of the Eburons, which was a tribe that defeated two of Caesar's legions in 54 BC. He is shown trampling a laurel wreath and Roman banners while wearing Celtic clothes and carrying a battle axe and a sword. Nowadays Ambiorix is one of the most famous characters in Belgian history.
Agnetenklooster
Constructed in the 15th century by monks of the St. Augustine, rebuilt in Gothic style around 1550 after a fire. The southern and northerns wings have been remodeled over the years. The monastery was one of the few buildings spared by the French troops attacking Tongeren in 1677.
