Brief description: Kerk Onze-Lieve-Vrouwenbasiliek , or the Basilica Our Blessed Lady. The oldest parts of this medieval basilica date from the 11th century. Changes and additions were made to the basilica in various architectural periods. Both the western part and the eastern choir are of particular architectural interest. The Schatkamer or treasure chamber contains a large number of objects of religious art including richly embroidered copes, chasubles and the so-called "Levite Tapestry" of St. Lambertus. He was the last Bishop of Maastricht and only one, born in the city.
