historic, contemporary and right in the heart of Maastricht

Looking to organise an event in the heart of Maastricht, surrounded by history and academic vibrancy? Then Tapijn is a venue not to be missed. This venue, situated on the site of former barracks and now part of Maastricht University’s campus, has been completely transformed into a contemporary meeting place with character. And you’ll notice that in everything.

From military history to modern hospitality
Tapijn is situated in a unique location. What was once a military complex has now become a vibrant and green urban area, where education, research, sustainability and hospitality come together. The building itself is a stunning blend of authentic details and modern architecture. Think high ceilings, robust materials and plenty of natural light. Inside, you’ll be welcomed into a warm and contemporary atmosphere, perfect for business meetings, lectures, dinners, receptions or presentations.

The venue is spacious, with several rooms that can be flexibly configured. Whether you’re planning an intimate brainstorming session or an inspiring mini-conference, Tapijn is the perfect choice.t 

A venue with substance
Another thing that makes Tapijn special is its location on the Maastricht University campus. This setting automatically lends your event a sense of substance. It is the ideal venue for knowledge-sharing, academic symposia or events with a social impact. And thanks to its central location in the city, all amenities and transport links are within easy reach.
