The Basilica of Saint Servatius is situated in Maastricht, in The Netherlands. It is dedicated to, and built on top of the grave of Saint Servatius, a martyr of the fourth century.
The church is mostly in Romanesque style and was built in several stages from the 11th until the 13th centuries. The nave was built in the 11th century, the choir and westwork in the 12th. In the first half of the 13th century the Bergportaal, a portal in Gothic style, was added to the south side and was the first Gothic construction in the Netherlands. Also in Gothic style are the chapels along the side-aisles, which were added in the 14th and 15th centuries, and the southern transept.
