Basiliek Sint Servaas

Basiliek Sint Servaas - Basilica of Saint Servatius. Keizer Karelplein 3. The western towers were added in the 12th century. View from the Pandhof Garden in the Cloister. "The Church of St. Servatius, founded by Bishop Monulphus (560-599), is the oldest church in the Netherlands. The E. crypt, with the tomb of St. Servatius (rediscovered in 1881), dates from the original building, as does also the body of the church, though now freely modernized, with vaulting of the 15th century. The narthex or porch of the rich Romanesque W. portion, surmounted by three towers, dates presumably from the time of Charlemagne".--Baedeker 1910 DSC_0139p1
