The Sint-Jansbosch Quarry I is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located southwest of Oud-Valkenburg in the northwest of the Sint-Jansbosch on the northeastern edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Geuldal. At the site, the plateau plunges steeply for several meters. Of the five Sint-Jansbosch quarries, this quarry is the highest and is located not far from the forest edge of the Sint-Jansbosch, close to a hiking trail.
Within ten meters to the east is the Sint-Jansbosch quarry II, further east are also the Sint-Jansbosch quarry III, Sint-Jansbosch quarry IV and Sint-Jansbosch quarry V.
About 90 meters to the northwest is the Pruus Karel I quarry,
about 300 meters away meters to the south is the Quarry Essenbosch IV and approximately 325 meters to the southeast is the Quarry of the Scheve Spar II.
From the 17th to the 19th century, the quarries were mined by block crushers for the extraction of limestone.
The quarry has an area of approximately 26 square meters and a corridor length of 2.7 meters.
The quarry is carved under the Horizont of Romontbos in the Schiepersberg Limestone from the Maastricht Formation.
