My friend and I ventured in on a whim, only when we walked in did I remember reading all the reviews about it. The church really is quite something to look at and you can get up close and personal AND take pictures. The ceiling art is faded but still looks beautiful.

read about it in the to-do guide in Maastricht and strolled along there on saturday morning and it was brilliant. It brought back to me the reason why I love reading and why my bookshelves at home are crammed with books. None of this kindle/reading on computers for me... it's brilliant. and it's free. All sorts of books (both English... More
