Culture of Maastricht. Places to visit - old town, temples, theaters, museums and palaces
Start your observation of the city from visiting Vrijthof Square, which is the location of two bright architectural constructions - Basilica of Sint Servaas and Yanskerk Church. These beautiful historic buildings have witnessed many important events and do not cease to amaze visitors with their grandeur and beauty. The church of Onze Lieve Vrouwebasiliek is a no less beautiful religious monument. By the way, this is the oldest building in the city. Originally a pagan sanctuary was located on the site of the church. The construction of the first church on its original site was completed in 1380. The beautiful building in the Romanesque style seems to be bleak and harsh, but its halls are soaked in a wonderful atmosphere of peace.

It was built in the 18th century, and the unique feature of this place is that the best panoramic views of Maastricht open up from here. You can discover a unique “mill-café” on Stenenbrug 3; it is here that De Bisschopsmolen is located. The place is ideal for romantic people, and lovers of history will be pleasantly surprised to learn that it has been operational since the 7th century. Also, lovers of romance will appreciate Helpoort, especially in the evening. By the way, it was here that the prototype of Alexander Dumas’ character in “The Three Musketeers”, D’Artagnan, met his death and has a monument erected.

Yet another beautiful sacred work of art is the Basiliek van Sint Servaas – the oldest church in the city (the time of its erection is attributed to 1039, earning it the fourth position in this place – the first was built as far back as 384). It has a beautiful garden, where you can take a walk and forget about all your pressing problems. You will find an interesting treasure inside the church as well as lots of interesting artifacts. One more noteworthy religious building is the Notre Dame Etoile de la Mer, whose main feature is the beautiful altar inside.
