Basilica of Saint Servatius, Minor basilica in Binnenstad, Maastricht, Netherlands

The Basilica of Saint Servatius displays Romanesque architecture with semi-circular arches, robust stonework, and a prominent westwork structure facing the Vrijthof square.

The fourth church built on this site emerged over a century, with the nave completed in the early 1000s and the choir and westwork finalized in the 1100s.

The basilica's treasury contains religious artifacts, including the reliquary bust and shrine of Saint Servatius, along with numerous medieval liturgical vessels.

Visitors can participate in guided tours that explain the architectural features, explore the treasury collection, and attend regular religious services throughout the week.

The church's dedication ceremony in 1039 gathered Emperor Henry III and twelve bishops, reflecting its status within the Holy Roman Empire.
