Wyck (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋik]; Limburgish: Wiek [ˈwiːk˦]) is a neighbourhood in Maastricht, Netherlands comprising the eastern bank of the Meuse (Dutch: Maas) in the city's historic centre.

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 Neighbourhood"), 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 part of Wyck.
