Sint-Bartholomeuskerk, Gothic basilica in Meerssen, Netherlands
The Sint-Bartholomeuskerk features a three-aisle limestone cross layout with a five-sided choir and substantial crossing tower incorporating Maas Gothic architectural elements.
The church originated as a palatial chapel after 1100, underwent Gothic expansions in 1318, and received minor basilica status from Pope Pius XI in 1938.
The interior contains late Gothic sacrament towers, ribbed vaults, round columns, and intricate tracery work dating from the late 13th century.
The church maintains regular religious services and holds annual commemorations of two sacramental miracles during the Octave of Meerssen celebrations.
The building houses a rare late Gothic sacrament tower from the early 16th century with detailed figurative sculptures and architectural ornaments.
