Echt-Susteren

Echt-Susteren is best known in Limburg for the Basilica of Saint Amelberga in Susteren, a former abbey church with Romanesque roots. Set in central Limburg, this municipality occupies part of the Maas valley near both the Belgian and German borders. It is a collection of distinct towns and villages rather than one urban centre, with Echt and Susteren among its principal places. At Stevensweert, the Maas and Oude Maas once formed an island setting for a planned seventeenth-century fortified town; its orderly streets still reflect that layout. This borderland corner of the Netherlands pairs river-country geography with layers of religious and military heritage.
