WALLOON CHURCH

The Walloon church, also called the French church of Maastricht, was built partly over the river Jeker. The construction work took 22 months and the church was inaugurated on December 6, 1733. It underwent extensive restoration work in 1908. The church has many elements of Louis XIV and Louis XV style and famous organs. The church is in a sober baroque style. The church was restored at the beginning of the 20th century and the size was reduced to create a reception area. It is a protected monument since 1966.
