Things to do in Maastricht

No. 2 of Best Things to Do in Limburg

Book Store Dominicanen

The Paradise Bookstore is located in a historic church in the city center of Maastricht, so it is also known as the Church Bookstore. Amsterdam-based architecture firm Merkx+Girod designed the church as a bookstore that combines modern elements with old buildings. A minimalist black frame divides the space on three floors, separates it from the reading area from the shop, and houses a café in the area of the former poetry choir. Looking down from the second and third floors, you can see that the reading desk in the cafe is designed in the shape of a cross.
