Maastricht - Provincial Government

(Local Name: Provinciehuis) The new Provinciehuis (provincial government headquarters) at Limburglaan 10 in the Wijk district, opened in 1986, is an example of contemporary architecture in a very individual style. This irregularly shaped red-brick building with its numerous angles and turrets stands partly on the right bank of the Maas and partly on an island in the river. Its picturesque situation makes a walk there well worth while; the interior can be seen by arrangement (apply to the reception desk).
