Lourdesgrot Sint Pieter, Religious chapel in Sint Pieter, Maastricht, Netherlands.

The Lourdes grotto and prayer chapel stand against a plastered marl wall, featuring a structure with pointed arch windows and colored glass panels.

Built in 1880 by the Claerenboets family, this Lourdes grotto holds the distinction of being the first constructed in the Netherlands.

The grotto contains white marble ex voto plaques on its garden wall, reflecting the deep religious traditions of local Catholic worshippers.

Visitors can access the grotto through a double wrought-iron gate located on Ursulinenweg 3, in the eastern slopes of Mount Saint Peter.

The structure incorporates local flint pebbles from nearby marl quarries, demonstrating the use of regional materials in religious architecture.
