Crypts of Sint-Servaasbasiliek, Medieval crypt complex beneath Basilica of Saint Servatius in Maastricht, Netherlands.
The underground complex consists of four interconnected chambers positioned several meters beneath the church floor in the eastern section of the basilica.
Construction of these underground chambers dates from the late tenth and eleventh centuries, with the oldest crypt marking the presumed burial location of Saint Servatius.
The eastern crypt functions as a lapidarium, displaying archaeological artifacts including early Christian gravestones and Merovingian sarcophagi from different periods.
Visitors can access the eastern crypt through a staircase next to the southeast portal, while the other three crypts connect through internal passages.
The small crypt contains the authenticated grave of Charles of Lower Lorraine from 953-992, verified through research and discovered inscriptions.
