The St Matthias Church was the only popular church in Maastricht. The first stone was laid on February 24, 1351. The only remaining part of this old church is the tower. The church was renovated in the 15th century in Gothic architectural style. In 1566 the Calvinists occupied the church and stripped the interior of all statues. In 1567 they had to leave the church back to Roman Catholic worship. In August 1632 the church fell back into Calvinist hands. Apart from a brief interruption (1673 - 1678) it would remain a Protestant church until the French occupiers confiscated the church in 1794 to create a garrison to establish a bakery. From 1802 the church was again used for Catholic worship.

holy and solemn church

Beautiful design and the monastery was only open,

The chapel next to the church invites you to light a candle. Where you can pay with plastic elsewhere, you can still pay with coins here...

Beautiful church not far from the market square.

The main point is to feel connected with god and be one with him :)

Die gotische St. Matthias-Kirche nahe dem Markt ist auch sehenswert.

Beautiful quiet church on the way to downtown Maastricht.

👌

Wanted to pray here but was locked. To be honest, I'm a bit confused as to how people came up with the idea of ​​locking houses of worship. Maybe it's a Dutch custom that you can only have concerns during normal times. A pity.

Beautiful catholic church. You van visit the blessed sacrament.
