Wins best bookshop frequently and you can see why. It’s both beautiful and packed full of books. There is a great coffee shop inside. Cute gifts means this is a good place to stop to buy a momento of Maastricht

The whole concept of transforming a church into library is impressive. And the fact that the church itself is beautiful, the library has majestic feel. I would recommend to visit it very early before the peak time of the visits.

Pretty cool to see a church changed into a bookshop. They offer a wide variety of types of books; they books however are slightly pricy in my opinion

Beautiful bookshop, but very hot inside. Also, the prices of the cd's were very high: €23,99 for the Rocketman soundtrack? Come on! But hey. it sure looks amazing and it's right in the centre of the city.
