Boekhandel Dominicanen

Boekhandel Dominicanen is one of Maastricht’s most distinctive sights: a bookstore set inside a 13th-century Dominican church. The dramatic Gothic interior, with soaring vaults and historic frescoes, creates an unusual setting for browsing books, gifts, and local titles. A modern black steel book tower adds a striking contrast to the medieval architecture. Even visitors who are not shopping often stop in to admire the space or relax in the café housed in the former choir area. It is an appealing stop for readers, architecture lovers, and anyone exploring the city center.
