The Cathedral of Saint Martin Utrecht Dom Church Netherlands


The Cathedral of Saint Martin or Dom Church was the cathedral of the diocese of Utrecht during the Middle Ages. Once the country's largest church and only cathedral, dedicated to St. Martin of Tours, it has been a Protestant church since 1580. The building is the one church in the Netherlands that closely resembles the classic Gothic style as developed in France. All other Gothic churches in the Netherlands belong to one of the many regional variants. Unlike its French predecessors, the Dom church has only one tower, the impressive, 112 m (368 ft) high Dom Tower, which is the hallmark of the city.
