The Synagogue in Maastricht is an Ashkenazi synagogue built in 1839-40 by architect Mathijs Hermans. The synagogue was restored between 1964 and 1967 by G.J.W. Snelder. This brick building in the Neo-Classical style still serves as a synagogue.
The 13th-century Dominican Church in Maastricht, now Boekhandel Dominicanen, showcases magnificent Gothic architecture, including ceiling and wall paintings. It served as a monastery before becoming a bookstore in 2006.
This basilica is also known as the "Star of the Sea". It is unknown when exactly the first church was built on this site and it is speculated that, given its location withing the former Roman Castrum, it was previously a temple to Jupiter. The present church was built in the 11th and 12th centuries in a gothic and romanesque style. The church also contains an important treasury room that was emptied during occupation by Napoleon's forces, but today contains several important religious artifacts from around the 14th century.
