Can you see the camera??“’t Piepenhoes” is a very nice restaurant with an outside café terrace along the river Meuse. They are well-known for their delicious gooseberry meringue ”vlaai” (pastry). Ruud and Ineke relaxing in 2024, enjoying coffee and (our favorite) vlaai at the Piepenhoes terrace.

Watch the camera on the balcony room of Hotel DuCasque.
During a visit to Maastricht we looked for the webcam that should be attached to a facade along the side of the Vrijthof square. We found it attached to the roof window of the building on Vrijthof 10 (Mediterranian restaurant Luster (opened in 2021).
A third Maastricht webcam shows images of the Maasboulevard and the St. Servaas bridge.Also powered by info@heelhollandkijkt.nlClick on the picture.

UPDATE 2024Around April 2024, fans noticed that the Vrijthof city webcam, which is attached to the facade of the hotel Ducasque, was no longer working. They reported this to Netcamviewer who replied that it was the decision of the hotel. When asked, we received the following answer from the hotel manager: "Unfortunately we are not able to send out live streams of the Vrijthof anymore, due to the privacy law". When we were at the hotel in July, the manager stated that this was the result of a complaint by one person (not a guest in the balcony room), who objected to the zoom function which makes people recognizable. The complaint was brought to AP (Authority Privacy) and the final decision was to disable the webcam as a result of violation of the privacy law.In August 2024 we received via our website-guestbook, a message by an English fan: “Hi everybody, is there any reason why both webcam views of the square and bridge are no longer available? They were an extra window to the outside world to me”. In the meantime: we got a quick response by Hans van Es: host of the “Heelhollandkijkt” (Piepenhoes) webcam. It was was temporarily offline, due to a technical glitch. This has now been resolved.We are very sorry for the disabled DuCasque webcam and we don't understand it either. Every city has webcams. And Maastricht is very special for the rest of the world with everything happening on the Vrijthof. We wonder: Couldn't a good solution be found? For example by just disabling the zoom functions.....? We’ll try to find out. We keep you informed.
It is no use to report anymore, read the UPDATE below.
Attention: Read the 2024 update about the Maastricht city webcams on top of this page.Update August 24, 2024:The “HeelHollandkijkt” webcam is working fine. It has been a while offline due to a technical failure. Thanks for your reply, Hans van Es!We are still trying to find a solution to getimages from the DuCasque webcam.We keep you informed.
