Sint-Matthiaskerk, Gothic parish church in Boschstraatkwartier, Maastricht, Netherlands

The Sint-Matthiaskerk features a three-manual organ built by Joseph Binvignat in 1808 and displays late Gothic frescoes in its north aisle.

The foundation stone of Sint-Matthiaskerk was laid in 1351, with archaeological evidence showing an earlier church existed on the site since the late 13th century.

The church houses multiple late Gothic statues, including a 15th-century Pieta and religious figures attributed to Jan van Steffeswert's craftsmanship.

The church remains active for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural elements and historical artifacts.

Following a lightning strike in 1528 that damaged the tower, the church remained without its crowning spire until its installation in 1769.
