To the website
The old parish church of St. Salvius is located on the north side of the village of Limbricht, near Limbricht Castle. The church was built in several phases from the ninth century, shortly after the death of Saint Salvius in 801,. The original wall, built from Maas boulders, has been almost completely preserved. In the eleventh and late thirteenth century a priest's choir was added. On the inside, the Romanesque elements of the choir are clearly visible: round windows and round arch decoration under the eaves.

The history of the old Salvius Church goes back to the end of the tenth century or the beginning of the eleventh century. The north wall of Maas boulders of the then built hall church remains. During a restoration between 1977 and 1984, murals were found in the choir, the oldest murals ever found in a village church in the Netherlands. You can still view these paintings from around 1300. A brass box has also been found with pieces of bone from Saint Salvius.

The old Salvius Church is one of the wonder locations on the Route full of Wonder . During this cycling route through the Grensmaasvallei, more than 30 locations can be visited digitally when they are not open to the public. Curious about the stories or take a look inside?
