Book Store Dominicanen

One of the best places in Maastricht. It is an old church that turn into a bookshop/coffee shop. There are lots of books and also options in different languages. Coffee shop was lovely. We tried for breakfast and it was good. Atmosphere was amazing. I would like to visit this place everyday.

Absolutely stunning bookstore inside a historic church. The architecture is breathtaking, the books are well-curated, and the little café adds a cozy touch. A must-visit for book lovers and anyone who appreciates history and design. The most impressive detail was that the figures on the ground were grave lids(ledger stones).

Because of the magnificence of the building—an old church—I could hardly even focus on the books, and I imagine many visitors feel the same. The architecture alone makes this a must-see.

It amazing how the Dutch people repurposed their old church and became a such beautiful bookstore. The title of most beautiful bookstore in the world is second to none! The old church Become a bookstore is much better some of the other churches became a bar and restaurant or some became an apartments if you asked me! You can slap have a cup of coffee or something in the back of the bookstore to admire the old church of the bookstore or the book you just purchased!

Walking into Bookstore Dominicanen feels like stepping into a dream. The building itself is breathtaking—a stunning blend of history and books that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in. The selection is incredible, from bestsellers to hidden gems, and the atmosphere is pure magic. Whether you’re a book lover or just love beautiful spaces, this is an absolute must-visit in Maastricht. 📚✨

Walking into Dominicanen feels like entering a literary sanctuary. The moment you step inside this former church, you're struck by the incredible atmosphere - centuries-old stone walls, soaring Gothic arches, and thousands of books creating the most inspiring environment for book lovers. I spent hours here just wandering through the different sections, each level offering new perspectives of this architectural marvel. The café is perfect for settling in with a new purchase and soaking in the unique ambiance. What impressed me most was how they've managed to create a fully functional modern bookstore while maintaining the sacred, contemplative feeling of the original space. The staff clearly takes pride in this special place. Whether you buy anything or not, this bookstore offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the world. Pure magic for anyone who loves books, history, or beautiful spaces.

The old historic church has now become a place for book sales and events. It's located in the city center. We went on a weekend and it was quite crowded.
