Basilica of Our Lady

Netherlands Limburg Maastricht Basilica of Our Lady Basiliek van Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe

The Roman catholic Basilica of Our Lady (in Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwebasiliek, in Limburgish (Maastrichtian variant): Slevrouwe) is a Romanesque basilica in Maastricht, The Netherlands, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. The church is often referred to as the Star of the Sea, after the church's main devotion, Our Lady, Star of the Sea. The church is dependent of the Diocese of Roermond and was made a Basilica Minor in 1933.

The present-day church is not the first church that was built on this site. Since no archeological research has ever been carried out inside the present building, nothing certain can be said about this. The church's site, inside the Roman castrum and adjacent to a religious shrine dedicated to the god Jupiter, suggests that the site was once occupied by a Roman temple. It is not unlikely that the town's first church was built here and that this church in the 4th century became the cathedral of the diocese of Tongeren-Maastricht. It is clear that at one point the church of Saint Servatius became the main church in Maastricht, but throughout the Middle Ages the two churches' chapters remained rivals.
The present church is largely Romanesque. Blocks of stone from the ancient Roman walls were re-used for the westwork which dates from shortly after 1000 AD. Most of the church was built in the course of the 12th century, including the late 12th century East choir with its two- storey ambulatory with richly decorated capitals.
In the 14th century a parish church was built next to the main church so the main building could be reserved for the chapter's religious duties. Of this parish church, dedicated to Saint Nicolas, nothing remains as it was demolished in 1837. In the 15th century the present Star of the Sea chapel was added and a century later the Romanesque cloisters were replaced by the present late Gothic cloisters.
After the incorporation of Maastricht in the French First Republic in 1794, the cities religious chapters were dissolved and the church of Our Lady was used for all kinds of purposes by the military garrison. Until 1837 the church remained a blacksmith shop. Many of the church treasures were lost during this period, including a silver reliquary cross with a large particle of the True Cross (now in the Vatican Museums).
From 1887-1917 the church was thoroughly restored by the well-known Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers who basically removed everything that did not fit his view of the ideal Romanesque church.

Maastricht, The Netherlands - video

I made the material for this video in my hometown, Maastricht. So, yup, I was a tourist in my own city for a day... It was fun, though! Oh, by the way, you'll see quite a bit of nature in this video too. That's near my home, the direct surroundings of the city. And, lastly, there's someone playing football (soccer) in the video, that's a friend of mine :)

Dominicaner kerk - Maastricht

De Dominicanerkerk in Maastricht stamt uit het einde van de 13de eeuw. De bouwstijl is gotiek, maar het gebouw bevat ook romaanse elementen. De Dominicanerkerk werd de laatste 200 jaar voor de meest uiteenlopende dingen gebruikt: een feestzaal, een reptielenhuis, De kerk werd onlangs gerestaureerd en in gebruik genomen door boekhandel Selexyz.

Op het voormalige priesterkoor van de Dominicanenkerk kunt u terecht voor een overheerlijke cappuccino of een lunchmaaltijd, verzorgd door het befaamde Blanche Dael Coffeelovers. Dit priesterkoor doet ook dienst als cultureel podium. Er vinden regelmatig lezingen en debatten plaats en er is ruimte voor expositie.

Volgens 'The Guardian' de mooiste boekhandel ter wereld!
