中国有一个词叫“书香门第”,而在对待宗教相对宽容的荷兰,人们将一座历史悠久的教堂改建成了书店,使之成为一座“书香教堂”。在宽敞舒适的环境下读一本好书已是一件美事,再加上古雅的建筑和一丝宗教的味道,的确会让人产生一种置身天堂的感觉:好书店,天堂造。有机会能去马斯特里赫特的读者可一定要去观摩一番这座特色书店,才算不虚此行哦!
What does a city do with an 800-year-old church with no congregation? Well, it could make like the Dutch and convert it into a temple of books. The old Dominican church in Maastricht was being used for bicycle storage not long ago, but thanks to a radical refurbishment by Dutch architects, it has been turned into what could possibly be the most beautiful bookshop of all time.
Selexyz Dominicanen stands tall in the center of the city. As a 13th century gothic church, it offers its visitors a breathtaking high ceiling, a majestic nave, grand ornamentation, and an opportunity to worship: not at the great altar of God, but at the many altars of literature.
Named as one of the “World’s 10 Best Bookshops” by the UK’s highly-regarded Guardiannewspaper, the Selexyz Dominicanen has quickly become one of Maastricht’s tourist attractions. “After the Guardian article, this place has been a madhouse,” remarks William Remmers, General Department Head of the store.
