APOSTELGROEVE
The Apostelgroeve is a former underground limestone quarry where building stones were extracted between 1770 and 1776. After that it served as a mushroom farm.
This quarry is managed by the Stichting Ir. D.C. van Schaik of the Natural History Society in Limburg. This quarry is used for research and education by, among others, the Study Group Underground Limestone Quarries (SOK). The quarry is closed to protect the natural values, the hibernating bats, the historical, geological and mining values.

The Apostelgroeve is a beautiful quarry in the Jekerdal near Maastricht.
This quarry has a turbulent history that was published in SOK announcements no. 32 of December 1999.
In summary, the exploitation of this quarry started in 1770 and stopped in 1776. The quarry did not provide the owners with the expected profit.
During the Second World War it served as a shelter. After the war it was used for years as a mushroom farm. The illegal gin distillery that used to be here in the past is very evocative. Many remains of this can still be found.
