Nederland - Utrecht, Domkerk en Domtoren

The Domkerk (St. Martin's Cathedral) was the cathedral of the diocese of Utrecht during the Middle Ages. It once was the largest church and the only cathedral of the Netherlands.

The construction of the present church started already in 1254. Since 1580 it is a protestant church.

In 1674 a tornado destroyed the part of the church that was connected to the tower and was never rebuild. The Dom tower is with a height of more than 112 meters the highest medieval tower in the country.
