Description
Utrecht is the capital and most populous city in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. Utrecht's ancient city centre features many buildings and structures several dating as far back as the High Middle Ages.
The most prominent building is the Gothic-style Dom tower, the tallest church tower in the Netherlands, at 112.5 metres (368 feet) in height.
The St. Martin's Cathedral, or Dom Church (Dutch: Domkerk) is the cathedral of the Diocese of Utrecht during the Middle Ages. Once the Netherlands' largest church, dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours, it is one of the country's two pre-Reformation cathedrals. It has been a Protestant church since 1580. In 1674 the central portion of the cathedral with the nave collapsed in a storm, a tornado ripped through Utrecht causing many to die and split the cathedral in two. It has never been rebuilt, leaving the tower now isolated from the east end.
