Maaseik - Sint-Annakerk

Sint-Annakerk in the northwest suburb of Aldeneik goes back to a former eighth C. monastic church. The present building is a pillared basilica of the 12th C. which was not erected until the monastery fell into ruins. It still has its Romanesque doorway and nave with the remains of paintings as well as Merovingian stone sarcophagi, among which beneath the altar is that of the saints Harlinde and Relinde who founded the monastery.
