Sint-Michaëlskerk, Dominican church on Market Square in Sittard, Netherlands
The church exhibits a baroque facade with volutes, pediment, and a central relief made of marl stone, complemented by a roof lantern above.
Dominican friars constructed the church between 1659 and 1661 as part of their monastery complex, and it survived the city fire of 1677.
The interior features ornate Renaissance wainscoting decorated with Dominican saints, botanical motifs, and baroque architectural elements throughout the nave.
The church maintains regular parish services and belongs to the Saints Peter and Michael Parish, with access from the central market square.
In 1938, a circus lion named Asor entered the church during a high mass, requiring intervention from the lion tamer Carlo Stevens.
