Areas
The neighbourhood consists of three distinct parts:
- Oud-Wyck ("Old Wyck"), comprising the oldest built-up area, until 1867 surrounded by Maastricht's Medieval city wall.
- Stationsbuurt ("Station Area"), the area west of the railway and Maastricht railway station, predominantly dating from the 19th century.
- Céramique, on the former factory grounds of Société Céramique south of Old Wyck, redeveloped during the 1990s/2000s. The area consists mostly of new-built apartment blocks, designed by international architects, and some restored factory buildings. The Bonnefantenmuseum, designed by Aldo Rossi, is a major landmark along the Meuse river. Though sometimes seen as a neighbourhood in itself, Céramique is officially a part of Wyck.
