Proosdij van Sint-Servaas

The Proosdij van Sint-Servaas consists of a building complex connected to Saint Servatius Basilica through 13th-century western arches spanning Sint Servaasklooster street.

In 1232, Provost Otto van Everstein established a division of assets, allocating two prebends, an official residence, lands, and additional income to the provost position.

The Proosdij functions as both an administrative center and religious institution, maintaining records and overseeing properties from North Brabant to the Rhine and Ahr rivers.

The Sisters of Charity of Saint Charles Borromeo currently operate within the complex, which remains accessible through guided tours of the connected Basilica.

Following the French capture of Maastricht in 1794, the last provost was deported to France, and the building transformed into the National Domains Service.
