The Cluysberg Quarry or Cluijsberg Quarry is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Eijsden-Margraten. The underground quarry is located northeast of Bemelen in the Koelbosgrub dry valley near the Koelebosweg. On the other side of this dry valley lies the Krekelberg. The quarry is located on the western edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Maas Valley. In the area, the plateau plunges steeply for several meters.

The head of the Bemelerberg is located approximately 400 meters to the west.
Before 1600, the quarry was used by block breakers.[4]
In the 18th century, the cave house in the quarry was used as a hermitage.
The last hermit died in 1804.
In 1829, part of the quarry ceiling collapsed.
