Step into Maastricht’s most stunning bookstore: Boekhandel Dominicanen, nestled inside a 700-year-old Gothic church. Once a monastery, then a bike rack, printing press, and Carnival party spot, this national treasure was reborn in 2007 with a jaw-dropping steel book tower slicing through centuries of history. Home to the oldest mural in the Netherlands — a 1337 fresco of Thomas Aquinas — and a cozy coffee shop where the altar once stood, it’s a surreal blend of medieval grandeur and modern literary magic. Perfect for book lovers, history buffs, and wanderers exploring Vrijthof square — it’s not just a bookstore, it’s an unforgettable experience.
