Céramique gets its name from the old pottery factory that stood here between 1863 and around 1980. Only a few industrial buildings remained: the Wiebenga hall, Borden hall, director's villa Jaunez and parts of the original wall. An ambitious redevelopment started in the late 1980s, with masterplan by Jo Coenen and prominent designs by leading architects such as Aldo Rossi (Bonnefantenmusuem), Álvaro Siza (Siza Tower), Mario Botta and Luigi Snozzi.
Céramique is buzzing with cultural activities: Centre Céramique organises exhibitions, lectures and workshops; Bonnefantenmuseum presents top art; Toneelgroep Maastricht performs in the Bordenhal. The square anno 1992 and the Charles Eyck Park provide space for events, markets and meetings.
The Hoge Brug connects Céramique to the city centre and flows into Avenue Céramique, flanked by designer shops and restaurants. In the Charles Eyck Park, old fortifications and greenery come together - ideal for rest and reflection.
In May 2025, Céramique celebrated its 25th anniversary with festivals, art markets, exhibitions and family programmes organised by Centre Céramique, Maastricht Museum and Bonnefanten. Audiences received free entry and were allowed to participate in workshops, lectures and iconic neighbourhood parties. Immerse yourself in Maastricht's future, surrounded by architecture, art and history - Céramique is an inspiring example of urban renewal and cultural connection.
