Parking near Dinghuis
Prebooking
The Dinghouse dates back to the 15th century and originally served as a courthouse. A “ding” is an old word for court session or public assembly. This is where justice was spoken, punished and administered. There was a prison in the basement, and the aldermen met on the first floor. With its massive walls and high windows, the building still exudes the atmosphere of order, authority and history.
The facade of the Dinghouse is a rare example of late Gothic architecture in Maastricht, with ornate stonework, an imposing stepped gable and a mix of marl and wood. The tower protruding from the roof was once a watchtower and bell tower. Although the building has been modified several times, its silhouette has been largely preserved over the centuries. It stands like an anchor in the city, literally and figuratively.
In modern times, the Dinghouse took on a very different function. For a long time, it was home to the VVV, the city's tourist information point. With that, the building once again became a place of welcome - not measure for defendants, but for visitors. Today, it is used as an office location, but its façade remains a favourite landmark for those entering old Maastricht.
What makes the Dinghouse special is the naturalness with which it blends into everyday life. You might walk past it on your way to a shop or terrace, but if you stand still for a moment, you will see the medieval richness in every detail: the windows, the stone decorations and the little tower. It is a building that needs to prove nothing, but continues to fascinate precisely because of its understated strength.
