From caregivers and educators to farmers and heroines

17 January 2026

Due to high interest, we have added an extra date. The walk is now fully booked. You can send an email to be placed on the waiting list.

Join the "Women of Maastricht" walking tour (in Dutch) on Saturday 17 January at 11:00.

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 17 January, at 11:00 AM
