A standard visit takes about 30 to 45 minutes. If you want to fully appreciate its medieval frescoes and Neo-Romanesque architecture, you may want to extend your visit to 1 hour.

Built in 1889, it is a symbol of the religious revival in Limburg after the Protestant Reformation. It stands out for its unique murals and its 1914 organ, and it was also the first Catholic parish in Heerlen since the 17th century.

Avoid worship hours on Sundays from 10:00 to 12:00. Weekday mornings are quieter. In summer, the Sacred Music Festival offers special concerts inside.

Yes, it has an access ramp and adapted restrooms at the side entrance. The interior is completely level except for the choir, which has steps.

Less than a 5-minute walk away are the Thermenmuseum (Roman ruins) and the innovative cultural center SCHUNCK. The historic market square, with its traditional bars, is also worth a visit.

We recommend using an audio guide to discover hidden details in the frescoes. Wear comfortable shoes to explore the maze of side chapels, and take advantage of the natural light from the dome to photograph the stained glass windows.
