In the Middle Ages, St. John's Church was one of Maastricht's four parish churches. The church takes its name from John the Baptist and was founded around 1200 by the chapter of Saint Servatius to function as a baptismal and parish church for the Saint Servatius parish. St. John's Church was first mentioned in 1218. The current church dates from the 14th and early 15th centuries. The Gothic baptistery was added in 1414. The original tower collapsed on June 8, 1366 after a violent storm. The current tower was completed in the second half of the fifteenth century after a long restoration. The tower had not always had the striking red color; the colors yellow (early 18th century) and white (early 19th century) are mentioned in writings. During this last restoration, the tower was repainted red in 1983.

I just followed the red tower from the square. The church is a little bit different from all others but still pretty to visit. If you travel to Holland and Maastricht, you must visit this magnificent church. Even if you haven't, the entry fee is not so much and it includes an excellent free audio tour. Best part of the church is climbing the 228 steps up the narrow spiral staircase to the top of the tower for a beautiful view of the city of Maastricht.

Sint janskerk maastricht capital of the province of Limburg in the netherlands. this church is in the center of the city. this church is special because of the commercial approach, concerts are given seminary and so much more. of course there is a ministerial service every Sunday. you can enter the tower and climb 218 steps to reach the highest point of this city. view of neighboring Belgium. it is a very beautiful church that is open daily in season. you can enjoy the peregrine falcon that has its nest there and see it on a real-time monitor. unique and one-off. next to the church is the treasury of the baseliek van sint servaas also a beautiful church to visit. 🙏
