Basilica of Saint Servatius

The Sanctuary of St. Serphas in Maastricht is one of the most representative historical buildings in the area, located in Keizer Karelplein, and is full of rich medieval European church style. The sanctuary’s majestic exterior, red brick walls with an elegant bell tower, stunning interior delicate stained glass and ancient stone pillars is an unmissable photo spot when exploring Maastricht. The temple has a long history and a serene atmosphere, and walking in is like being in Europe hundreds of years ago. Suggested route: Enter from the main entrance of the sanctuary, first visit the solemn main hall and feel the towering vaults and ornate altar. If interested in the history of the church, spend a moment admiring the temple’s frescoes, statues and relics, perusing each story. The stained glass windows are a must-see highlight, especially at noon when the sunlight shines through and the colors are very charming. Must-have photo spots: The steps in front of the main hall gate is one of the most beautiful photo spots, with a bell tower background, very European travel feel. Indoors, the stained glass location below the bell tower is recommended, and in front of the main altar. It is recommended to take a panoramic view of the interior of the church to record the solemn atmosphere.

The church is open year-round, Monday to Saturday 10:00-17:00 and Sunday 11:30-17:00. The visit time is expected to be 30 minutes to 1 hour is enough and can be adjusted according to your interests. Note: The church is a religious place and sometimes there will be religious ceremonies. Avoid flashes when taking photos and respect the atmosphere of the scene. Maastricht St Serphas Temple, suitable for travelers who like historical architecture, religious culture and taking beautiful photos, easy and simple itinerary, highly recommended to put in the Maastricht city center sightseeing route.
