荷蘭馬斯特里赫特，教堂書店 看中國網站 禁止建立鏡像網站 。

What does a city do with an 800-year-old church withno congregation? Well, it could make like the Dutch and convert it intoa temple of books. The old Dominican church in Maastricht was beingused for bicycle storage not long ago, but thanks to a radicalrefurbishment by Dutch architects Merkx·Girod it has been turned intowhat could possibly be the most beautiful bookshop of all time。

在一間擁有800年歷史的古教堂裡讀書是什麼感覺？不久前，荷蘭馬斯特里赫特市的多米尼加教堂還是一個供人們存放自行車的地方。荷蘭建築師默克斯·吉羅德給這座廢棄的教堂帶來了驚人變化，他把教堂改造成了一家書店。

The Boekhandel Selexyz Dominicanen, which opened justbefore Christmas, retains the character and charm of the old church,while being fitted with a minimalist and modern interior design thatovercomes any suggestion of fustiness. From the images you can find onthe web you can see that it is a bookshop made in heaven.

書店2007年聖誕節前剛剛開張。吉羅德盡量保留原有建築風貌，只在內部裝飾上作了些許變動，添加了一些現代元素，令整座教堂煥然一新。在一排排書架間穿行，頭頂上方是高大、美麗的教堂穹頂，難怪有人把這裡稱為「天堂書店」。
