SAINT-SERVAIS BASILICA
Medieval Romanesque basilica with crypts with elaborate sculptures and a bell on the south tower in Maastricht
This medieval and Romanesque gem features a transept and central core dating from around 1000 AD. This historic monument boasts 11th- and 12th-century crypts, housing the tombs of St. Servais, the first bishop of the Netherlands, and Charles of Lorraine. The building was extended in the 14th and 15th centuries, enriching its already impressive architecture. Highlights include portals adorned with finely crafted sculptures. The bell in the south tower, nicknamed Grameer, weighs almost 7 tons.
