In the massive halls of the former Sphinx and Belvédère factories, space has been made for galleries, startups, residential complexes and hospitality. Over 100 000 m2 of industrial heritage were given a second life as movie theatres, offices and homes - an urban metamorphosis where history remains tangible.
The Sphinxpassage is much more than a covered shopping street. It is a 120-metre-long cultural trail where you walk past tile art, photos and stories that revive the glory days of Maastricht ceramics. The passage is freely accessible and is a monument to industrial pride and creative reuse.
Day and night, the quarter is buzzing with activity: from arthouse shows in converted factory halls to cosy dinners in raw, characterful spaces. You can also seek out creative startups or explore designer shops. The Sphinx Quarter is a breeding ground for new ideas where working, living and enjoying come together effortlessly.
Sphinx Quarter is not a reconstruction: it is an unadulterated transformation, where you can still smell the raw industrial atmosphere in the brick walls and tall windows. At the same time, you feel the vibrancy of a modern city quarter, with squares, parks, cultural events and the intimate contact between past and future.
Sphinx Quarter is a Maastricht architectural and cultural metamorphosis: a place where tough industrial stories coincide with design, creativity and culinary delights.
