A unique underground museum in the Cannerberg in Maastricht and since 1996 a protected national monument. Just outside Maastricht, near the border with Belgium, is one of the most beautifully worked limestone quarries in the world, the Jesuit Mountain.

The beginning of the mining of the Fallenberg quarry, to which the Jesuit mountain belongs, dates back many centuries, when people used the limestone as a building stone.

The fact that a unique underground museum is now located in the tunnel system is thanks to the Jesuit Fathers from Maastricht. Between 1860 and 1960, scholastics and theologians of the Jesuit order went into the quarry on their Wednesday off to relax.

They made drawings, paintings, sculptures and statues, which resulted in a unique collection of works of art, well worth seeing!
