Saint Amalberga Church, Romanesque church in Susteren, Netherlands.
The Sint-Amelbergabasiliek features a grand Romanesque architectural design with a substantial westwork and preserves numerous religious artifacts in its treasury.
The church originated from a monastery established in 714 by Willibrord, Pepijn van Herstal, and Plectrudis, making it one of the oldest religious foundations in the Netherlands.
The church holds the remains of Saint Amelberga, the first abbess of Susteren Abbey, who raised the three daughters of King Zwentibold of Lotharingen.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and organizes a traditional pilgrimage every seven years, with the next scheduled gathering in 2028.
The treasury contains a silver chalice that, according to historical records, people with throat conditions would drink beer from to seek relief.
