Church Notes: The predecessor of the current Sint-Martinuskerk was one of the four medieval parish churches of Maastricht, of which only two are left. The Gothic church was probably not the first church on this site, as a 13th-century charter mentions that the church was donated to the chapter of Our Lady's Church as early as the 9th century. In any case, the church existed in 1157, as it was then mentioned in a papal bull. When the church was demolished a fragment of a Roman statue of Mercury was found; the dilapidated medieval church was demolished in 1855, despite fierce protests; present church 1858 -- listed church [Monumentnummer 27823]
Font Notes:
The Rijskmonumentenregister entry for this 19th-century church [https://monumentenregister.cultureelerfgoed.nl/monumenten/27823] [accessed 29 December 2021] reports a baptismal font made of brass in 1482 with a cover of 1717 ["een geel koperen doopvont (1482) met deksel uit 1717"]. The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a fine set of arch-heads on floral ens all around, just below the rim; humad heads [8?] protrude all aroujd at regular intervals; the cylindrical stem has a centre ring with graded moulding; the lower base is of two parts: the top is metal, the same of the upper base and basin, and has openwork quatrefoiled pattern all around; the lower half is stone. The font cover is, as noted above, also made of brass, a dome with the upper end graded, and a cross finial; it is managed by a side crane [of cast iron?] that moves the cover sideways to open the font.
