It´s possble to visit the church inside fro free, if there are no services. You can walk in the gothic corridors and have a look at the courtyard. For entering the courtyard and the treasury room you have to pay a small entrance fee.
At this westside of the church you can find the intimate green square named 'Onze Lieve Vrouwe plein' with lots of terraces of the surrounding cafes. Leave a Comment Address: Maastricht, Lieve Vrouweplein.Directions: At the westbank of the Maas in the citycentre

 Burn a candle for Mary,
Star of the Sea by tompt
In 1795 the church was taken by the French, who occupied the region. They used it as a stable, storage for grain, hospital and for a blacksmith. It stayed a militairy blacksmith until 1837, when the dutch had taken over for a long time.
The statue of Mary , Star of the Sea, (dating back to 1410) came from the St Nicolaschurch to this church in that year. In 1903 it was placed in the Merode-chapel, where it still stands today. On 20 februari 1933 the church was made a basilica minor by pope Pius XI.
Today it is a very common thing to burn a candle in the Merode chapel in honor of Mary, Star of the Sea, on a sunday or any other day in the week.
You can visit the church too. And there is a treasure-house, with a large number of exhibits. Church art , the so-called “Levite Tapestry” of St. Lambertus. He was the last Bishop of Maastricht and only one, born here. Relics, procession banners, church silver and more.
Opening hours:
The church is opened to the public each day, not during services.
The treasury: From Easter through Autumn vacation daily from 11.00 a.m.- 5.00 p.m. on Sunday 1.00 p.m. - 5.00 p.m.
For the treasury you have to pay admission:
Adults € 1.60; Children up to 12 years € 0.45 (2005 prices) Leave a Comment

The interior of the Church of Our Lady has got three naves. The choir is covered golded figures. The capitals are covered with frescos.
Very interesting is also the cloister built in the half of the 14th century: nowdays there you can visit the Schatkamer (Treasure Room). Leave a Comment Address: Onze Lieve Vrouweplein 7 - 6211 HD Maastricht

It is quite large inside & there is a trophy room in a wing off the main part as well as a courtyard.
You are not supposed to take pics inside, we were rushing about looking for who has the next coin to turn the lights on.
The church is Roman catholic Leave a Comment Address: Onze lieve vrouweplein
