Treasury of Onze-Lieve-Vrouwebasiliek

Treasury of Onze-Lieve-Vrouwebasiliek, Religious museum at Onze-Lieve-Vrouwebasiliek, Maastricht, Netherlands.

The treasury contains an extensive collection of religious artifacts, including reliquaries, chalices, and ecclesiastical vestments dating from the 14th century forward.

The treasury room emerged from a medieval tradition of displaying sacred relics during the Septennial Pilgrimage, which attracted numerous visitors to Maastricht.

The collection features silver reliquary boxes, ivory chests, and manuscripts that demonstrate the craftsmanship and devotional practices of past centuries.

Located within the Romanesque basilica at Onze Lieve Vrouweplein 7 in Maastricht, the treasury provides guided tours and informative displays about its collections.

Among the treasury's most notable items is a silver reliquary specifically created to hold the girdle of the Virgin Mary.
