Imagine that you could drive down to a local church or a monastery and ask for a room to spend the night, with breakfast in the morning. Imagine how it must be to sleep inside a church with the glass stained windows next to the bed. This is what we did at the Kruisherenhotel Maastricht, unique hotel experience and one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed of our Fotostrasse life. We spend one night there in the middle of December 2017, and we will share everything about it below.
