HOLLAND: St. Martin's Cathedral / Dom van Utrecht [HD]
Once the country's largest church and only cathedral it has been a Protestant church since 1580.
The Dom van Utrecht (or Domkerk), or St. Martin's Cathedral was the cathedral of the diocese of Utrecht during the Middle Ages.
The building is the one church in the Netherlands that closely resembles the classic Gothic style as developed in France.
Unlike most of its French predecessors, the Dom Church has only one tower, the 112 m high Dom Tower (Domtoren). It is the hallmark of the city. It is the highest church tower in the Netherlands and the highest building in Utrecht.
The construction of the gothic Dom Church started from 1254 continued well into the 16th century. The Dom Tower was started in 1321 and finished in 1382.
What remains of St. Martin's Cathedral today are the choir, the transept and the Dom Tower. The central nave of the cathedral collapsed in the storm of 1674 and is now a square with large trees, the Domplein. Stones in various colours indicate in the pavement the original outlines of the church.
