Until the 12th century, documentation on the Basilica of Our Lady is very limited, as the church's archives were lost in French times. It is generally believed that the present church had at least one pastor, probably several.

The first of these could have been the oldest church in Maastricht - and therefore in the Netherlands. The first church may have been built by one of the bishops of Tongeren-Maastricht within the walls of the late Roman castellum, perhaps as a replacement for a pagan sanctuary.

It is possible that this church served as the cathedral of the Diocese of Maastricht (4th / 5th / 6th - 8th century)

On February 20, 1933, the church was elevated to basilica minor by Pope Pius IX. As basilica minor, the church obtained the right to bear three decorations: the conopeum, the tintinnabulum and the papal coat of arms.

The decorations are normally on the choir, except during Holy Week: after the Mass on Maundy Thursday, these ecclesiastical attributes are put away during the liturgy of the "altar exposing". During the Great City Procession (annually around May 15), the decorations are...

A beacon of faith in Maastricht's historic center, the Basilica of Our Lady ⛪ is a magnificent example of Mosan-Romanesque architecture. Built in the 11th and 12th centuries, its formidable, fortress-like westwork was designed for defense as well as worship.

Known locally as Slevrouwe (Star of the Sea), the basilica has been a significant pilgrimage site for centuries, revered for its 15th-century statue of the Virgin Mary. The dark, contemplative interior, with its ancient crypt and valuable treasury, offers a powerful glimpse into the city's deep religious and cultural heritage. The Basilica of Our Lady is a true cornerstone of Maastricht, embodying centuries of history...

Die Basilika zeichnet sich durch eine wundertätige Holzstatue der Jungfrau Maria aus. Die Kirche stammt aus dem 11. bis 12. Jahrhundert und wurde seither mehrmals umgebaut. Heute ist sie eine der Hauptattraktionen der Region und steht als niederländisches Denkmal unter Denkmalschutz.

Sie ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche, die 1933 von Papst Pius XI. zur Basilika minor geweiht wurde. Der Tempel ist ein repräsentatives Bauwerk des romanischen Stils, der für das Maastal, einen Fluss, der durch das Gebiet der Niederlande und der Nachbarländer fließt, charakteristisch ist. Trotz zahlreicher Umbauten hat die Kirche ihren ursprünglichen Stil mit einem leichten Hauch von Gotik bewahrt.

Das Innere der Basilika ist sehenswert, insbesondere die hölzerne Statue der Jungfrau Maria, der heilende Kräfte zugeschrieben werden. Um 1700 geriet ein Graf aus Maastricht in eine Seekatastrophe - er rief vom Ufer aus die Statue um Hilfe und wurde gerettet. Seitdem trägt die Jungfrau Maria den Spitznamen "Stern des Meeres". Bazylikę wyróżnia cudowna drewniana figura Matki Bożej. Kościół pochodzi z XI-XII wieku i od tamtego czasu był wielokrotnie przebudowany. Dziś stanowi jedną z największych atrakcji regionu i znajduje się na liście holenderskich zabytków.

Jest to kościół wyznania rzymskokatolickiego, konsekrowany na bazylikę mniejszą w 1933 roku przez papieża Piusa XI. Świątynia stanowi reprezentacyjną budowlę stylu romańskiego, charakterystycznego dla doliny Mozy, rzeki płynącej przez terytorium Holandii i sąsiednich państw. Pomimo wielu przebudowań, kościół zachował swój oryginalny styl z lekką domieszką gotyku.

Warto zwrócić uwagę na wnętrze bazyliki, zwłaszcza na drewnianą figurę Marii Panny, która według wierzeń ma moc uzdrawiającą. Około 1700 roku pewien hrabia z Maastricht uczestniczył w katastrofie morskiej - z brzegu wołał o pomoc do figury i został uratowany. Od tego czasu do Matki Boskiej przyległ przydomek...
