In the 1930s, an extraordinary building was built in Heerlen: the Glass Palace. It was very modern and innovative for that time. It originally served as a fashion house. Architect Frits Peutz designed the modernist building for entrepreneur Peter Schunck. Due to its height and large glass areas, it was quickly nicknamed 'the Glass Palace'.

Think of tall arches, hidden sculptures and squares that invite you to explore. Here you'll find not only the station, but also shops, cafes, a hotel and homes — all steeped in character. Be amazed by the Heliostat, a solar tower that captures and diffuses light, and discover the 89 works of art that together form a constellation. The Maankwartier is a place where past and future come together, where each stone tells a story.

On Saturday afternoons, the church is open to visitors, and guides are ready to take you on a journey through time. A visit to St. Pancratius Church is a must for anyone who wants to experience the soul of Heerlen.
