Basilica of Saint Servatius

The Basilica of Saint Servatius is Maastricht’s oldest and most historically significant church, built above the grave of Saint Servatius, a 4th-century bishop and the city’s patron saint. Its Romanesque architecture, sculpted portal, and atmospheric treasury make it a rewarding stop for visitors interested in art, history, and religion. Located on Vrijthof square, the basilica is easy to combine with a walk through the old town, and its layered history offers a clear sense of Maastricht’s early importance in the region.
