What To Expect

City Hall of Maastricht

The striking historic town hall of Maastricht dates from the mid-17th century. We pause for a moment to consider this building, which can be seen as a symbol of the so-called duality that lasted from 1204 to 1794.

Kesselskade

We pass the place where the Augustinian fathers built their first real church at the beginning of the 16th century. The construction was largely financed with the proceeds of a pot of gold from Roman times, which they had excavated. This is considered the first recorded archaeological find in Maastricht.

Stokstraat

A visit to the intimate square Op de Thermen (behind Stokstraat) should not be missed. In 1840, the foundations of a Roman bathhouse with facilities that would not be out of place in a modern spa were discovered here.

De Bisschopsmolen

The Bishop's Mill (Bisschopsmolen) in Maastricht is one of the oldest working water mills in the Netherlands, dating back to the 7th century. It has historically been used for grain milling and is a key part of Maastricht's heritage, reflecting the city's medieval industry and sustainable practices. Today, the Bishop's Mill in Maastricht is still operational, producing flour using traditional methods. It supplies local bakeries and its own on-site bakery, maintaining a strong connection to the region's artisanal food production and sustainable practices.

Helpoort

The story you will hear from me is juicier than the official version as described below. The Helpoort, dating back to the 13th century, is the oldest surviving city gate in the Netherlands. Originally part of Maastricht's medieval fortifications, it played a crucial role in defending the city. Today, it stands as a historic monument, reflecting Maastricht's rich medieval history and architectural heritage. The name "Helpoort" translates to "Hell's Gate" in English. It is believed to have originated from the gate's function as a defense point, possibly evoking fear or respect among attackers, and its association with the harsh conditions faced by prisoners held there.

Vrijthof

If you now see the beautiful square where Andre Rieu gives his annual concerts, you would not say that the Romans buried their dead here. The square is now dominated by the St. Servatius Church and the St. John's Church. "Purgatory" ends here....
