Walk - The Woman of Maastricht

From caregivers and educators to farmers and heroines

29 November 2025

Join the "Women of Maastricht" walking tour (in Dutch) on Saturday 29 November at 11:00.
Participation is free, but please register via info@bureau-europa.nl

There is a dynamic interplay between ideas about gender and urban architecture. During this walk, you’ll visit locations where remarkable moments in Maastricht’s women’s history took place — where women stood on the barricades and created space to fully realise their potential.

Pass by refuges, convents, and the Sterre der Zee chapel; visit the homes of extraordinary women such as Elisabeth Strouven and Wilhelmina van de Geijn; and follow in the footsteps of Maastricht’s suffragettes and the female workers of the Sphinx factory.

Distance: 3.5 km
Duration: 1.5 hours

Dates Saturday 29 November, at 11:00 AM
Location Bureau Europa, platform for architecture and design
