Selexyz Dominicanen

This fantastically gorgeous bookstore, housed in a 13th-century Dominican church in Maastricht, Holland, was until 2007 being used as an ‘indoor bike pound’ by the locals. Now, it’s the holiest of book sanctuaries, and beautiful to boot, with much of the original artwork and architecture restored. Works for us. After all, we like to think of ourselves as true believers — at least when it comes to bookstores.
