Augustijnenkerk, Baroque church in Binnenstad, Maastricht, Netherlands

The Augustijnenkerk features a brick and marl construction with a wooden barrel vault, large windows, and a prominent eastern facade decorated with volutes and festoons.

Construction of the church began in 1609 after the city council donated 8,000 guilders and 100,000 bricks, with completion and consecration occurring in 1661.

The church contains an 18th-century main altar from Hulsberg, side altars from O.L. Vrouwekerk, and a 17th-century pulpit from Horst.

Located at Kesselskade 43 in Maastricht, the building currently serves as a rehearsal space for the Maastricht Choral Society since 1991.

The eastern facade displays a relief of Saint Augustine's flaming heart, with the year 1659 and a dedication to Saints Mary, Augustine, and Hubertus.
