Maastricht's most modern city district

Céramique used to be part of Wyck, but its totally unique character has allowed this part of town to call itself a separate district for some time. The name of this district is derived from the earthenware factory Société Céramique, which was located here from 1863. The industrial past is still tangible in this district, while at the same time you are in the newest and most modern part of the city.

Charles Eyck Park - as a meeting place

On the Meuse side, Charles Eyck Park is the perfect meeting place for residents and visitors alike. The park offers a peaceful green space, but comes to life especially in sunny weather, when people picnic, walk or enjoy being outside. Thanks to its location in the heart of Céramique, surrounded by modern architecture, it is an oasis of tranquillity that perfectly meets the dynamism of the city.
