By the mid-7th century, English and Irish missionaries set out to convert the Frisians. Pope Sergius I appointed their leader, Saint Willibrordus, as bishop of the Frisians. The tenure of Willibrordus is generally considered to be the beginning of the Bishopric of Utrecht.[12] In 723, the Frankish leader Charles Martel bestowed the fortress in Utrecht and the surrounding lands as the base of the bishops. From then on Utrecht became one of the most influential seats of power for the Roman Catholic Church in the Netherlands. The archbishops of Utrecht were based at the uneasy northern border of the Carolingian Empire. In addition, the city of Utrecht had competition from the nearby trading centre Dorestad.[12] After the fall of Dorestad around 850, Utrecht became one of the most important cities in the Netherlands.[16] The importance of Utrecht as a centre of Christianity is illustrated by the election of the Utrecht-born Adriaan Florenszoon Boeyens as pope in 1522 (the last non-Italian pope before John Paul II).
Prince-bishops[edit]
Main article: Bishopric of Utrecht
When the Frankish rulers established the system of feudalism, the Bishops of Utrecht came to exercise worldly power as prince-bishops.[12] The territory of the bishopric not only included the modern province of Utrecht (Nedersticht, 'lower Sticht'), but also extended to the northeast. The feudal conflict of the Middle Ages heavily affected Utrecht. The prince-bishopric was involved in almost continuous conflicts with the Counts of Holland and the Dukes of Guelders.[17] The Veluwe region was seized by Guelders, but large areas in the modern province of Overijssel remained as the Oversticht.
Clerical buildings[edit]
Several churches and monasteries were built inside, or close to, the city of Utrecht. The most dominant of these was the Cathedral of Saint Martin, inside the old Roman fortress. The construction of the present Gothic building was begun in 1254 after an earlier romanesque construction had been badly damaged by fire. The choir and transept were finished from 1320 and were followed then by the ambitious Dom tower.[12] The last part to be constructed was the central nave, from 1420. By that time, however, the age of the great cathedrals had come to an end and declining finances prevented the ambitious project from being finished, the construction of the central nave being suspended before the planned flying buttresses could be finished.[12] Besides the cathedral there were four collegiate churches in Utrecht: St. Salvator's Church (demolished in the 16th century), on the Dom square, dating back to the early 8th century.[18] Saint John (Janskerk), originating in 1040;[19] Saint Peter, building started in 1039[20] and Saint Mary's church building started around 1090 (demolished in the early 19th century, cloister survives).[21] Besides these churches, the city housed St. Paul's Abbey,[22] the 15th-century beguinage of St. Nicholas, and a 14th-century chapter house of the Teutonic Knights.[23]
Besides these buildings which belonged to the bishopric, an additional four parish churches were constructed in the city: the Jacobikerk (dedicated to Saint James), founded in the 11th century, with the current Gothic church dating back to the 14th century;[24] the Buurkerk (Neighbourhood-church) of the 11th-century parish in the centre of the city; Nicolaichurch (dedicated to Saint Nicholas), from the 12th century[25] and the 13th-century Geertekerk (dedicated to Saint Gertrude of Nivelles).[26]
City of Utrecht[edit]
Its location on the banks of the river Rhine allowed Utrecht to become an important trade centre in the Northern Netherlands. The growing town Utrecht was granted city rights by Henry V in 1122. When the main flow of the Rhine moved south, the old bed which still flowed through the heart of the town became ever more canalized; and the wharf system was built as an inner city harbour system.[27] On the wharfs, storage facilities (werfkelders) were built, on top of which the main street, including houses, was constructed. The wharfs and the cellars are accessible from a platform at water level with stairs descending from the street level to form a unique structure.[nb 2][28] The relations between the bishop, who controlled many lands outside of the city, and the citizens of Utrecht was not always easy.[12] The bishop, for example dammed the Kromme Rijn at Wijk bij Duurstede to protect his estates from flooding. This threatened shipping for the city and led the city of Utrecht to commission a canal to ensure access to the town for shipping trade: the Vaartse Rijn, connecting Utrecht to the Hollandse IJssel at IJsselstein.

Utrecht Janskerk 2012
De Janskerk op het Janskerkhof werd kort na 1040 gesticht door bisschop Bernold en gewijd aan Johannes de Doper. In de middeleeuwen was het een van de vijf kapittelkerken in Utrecht. Van het originele bouwwerk in romaanse stijl zijn het schip en het dwarsschip grotendeels bewaard gebleven. In de 14e eeuw stortte een toren in en een tornado in 1674 bracht verder schade aan. Het pandhof werd gesloopt en er kwam een nieuwe gevel. De kerk is begin 19e eeuw nog als kazerne gebruikt. Nu wordt het gebruikt voor feesten, lezingen enz. en zondags is er een oecumenische dienst voor studenten.

Vltava / Moldau - piano solo - Janskerk - Utrecht - Netherlands
Vltava / Moldau performed on April 10, Utrecht, Netherlands, in the Janskerk, a very large church, on a Schimmel 211 from 1975. I have performed it a little bit at the slow side to compensate for the difficult acoustic characteristics of this church.
This was the first time for a large audience, so I was quite nervous, I apoligize for the various mistakes. (I am used to make some mistakes, but never know at which point ...).
This performance was based on the arrangement of Lothar Lechner. Hope you will enjoy this, because it's close to what Smetana originally intended. (He has written it for piano solo and later arranged it for symphony orchestra).

Koninginnedag 2013 @ Janskerkhof, Utrecht
Short video of the awesomeness that was Koninginnedag 2013 (Queens Day 2013) in Utrecht, The Netherlands
Netherlands: Gouda - The Sint Janskerk
The Sint Janskerk in Gouda, the Netherlands, is a large Gothic church, known especially for its stained glass windows, for which it has been placed on the UNESCO list of Dutch monuments.
The church is dedicated to John the Baptist, the patron saint of Gouda, and was built during the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1552 a large part of the church burned, including the archives. Most information of the early period is taken from the diaries of Ignatius Walvis. Around 1350 a tower was built (only the lower part remains). In 1485 the foundation was built for the present-day choir. This expansion made the church the longest in the Netherlands, with a length of 123 meters.

In de vastentijd luidt de Willibrordkerk in Utrecht de Cis en de E om met het mineur-gelui de veertigdagentijd te benadrukken.
Toevallig luidde de Janskerk haar vespers in met de B, hetgeen resulteerde in het paasachtige Gloriamotief. xD
