St. Martin's Church in Vijlen (municipality of Vaals) is the highest parish church in the Netherlands (195.6m above sea level). This neo-Gothic church was built between 1860 and 1862 based on a design by Carl Weber. The striking tower, approximately 65m high, is a landmark in the Heuvelland region.
Inside, you'll find neo-Gothic furnishings, art by Charles Eyck, and a pipe organ. The tower is sometimes open to the public and offers stunning views. The church is located on walking and cycling routes and is a great starting point for exploring South Limburg.
