Maastricht - Vrijthof
At the west end of the St Servaasbrug is Burgstraat, from the far end of which Kleine Staat (to the right) and Grote Staat (to the left) lead to the Vrijthof, shaded by lime-trees. As the name indicates (vrijt = "free"), this was always an open space. Originally a cemetery, it later became the parade ground of the garrison. Flanking it are the former Guard-House, St Servaaskerk, St Janskerk and a number of cafes and terraces. To the north and south are two other road bridges and a railroad bridge.
