Sint-Janskerk is a remarkable Gothic church situated in Maastricht, constructed between the 14th and 15th centuries. It is renowned for being alongside the Roman Catholic Sint-Servaas Basilica, creating a distinctive 'church twin' setting in the Netherlands. Dedicated to John the Baptist, the church boasts an impressive 79-meter-high red tower. Inside, visitors will find beautiful architecture, a notable organ, and various historic monuments. The church regularly hosts concerts and cultural activities, especially during the Musica Sacra festival. It is open to the public from Easter until the end of the autumn holidays (excluding Sundays) and offers guided tours and climbing opportunities for its tower.
