Originally entirely made of wood, still visible at the side. Assumed to be the only half-timbered house in Utrecht, possibly from the forteenth century. The front was changed into stone in the seventeenth century and the bell gable is from the eightteenth century. An urban planner once said that it was a disgrace that the small house was not demolished yet, because it did not fit between all those higher buildings. Thoroughly renovated in 1976 when the storefront originated. Jewelry shop Splendor (Pracht) is found here since 2006.

Statue of a writing canon, dressed in a fur coat en seated on a three legged gothic chair on a fountain. Around the disc is the text:
hoc exornata est academia mvnere abvrre
foederis antiqvi qvae manebvsqve memor
Until shortly this attentively writing monk was known as 'the reading monk'. This incorrect name existeer because Wstinc was robbed of his pen and pencil case shortly after the status was revealed, and possibly even a second time, by vandals. It was 750 years ego in 2004 that the first stone for the Dome and its court (Pandhof) was layedd. This was a nice cause for Utrecht University to restore the statue of the monk in old glory. The Utrechtse blacksmith / designer Willem Noyons was commissioned to supply the canon with his modeaval writing tool. He used a photo in the Brom archives kept in the Catholic Documentation Centre in Nijmegen.

The Saddle street (Zadelstraat) is in the Centre of Utrecht, The Netherlands. This street runs from Maria square (Mariaplaats) to St. Martens bridge (Maartensbrug) and then turns into Servet street (Servetstraat) which leads to dom square (Domplein).
It is assumed that on this spot a Roman road ran across the Canal to the former Castellum Traiectum on Dom square. This photogenic street with grand view of the Dom tower is probably the first stone street of the country. Yet in 1165 it is described in a donation as platea suburbana, street under the fortress, an old interpretation for the Roman castellum that greep into the fortress Trecht in the early middle ages. When city rights were obtained in 1122, the whole city got walls and the military function of the fortress was lost. In 1196 the Saddle street, via Lapidea, was called Stone way (Steenweg). The current Stone way, which lies 100 meter to the north, was described in the 14th century as the New Stone Way. The name Stonewall appears in 1330 and points to the saddle makers who lived here. This name would stick and the New Stone way became Stone way.
The Dome tower of 112,32 meter is the highest church tower of The Netherlands, the highest building of Utrecht and belongs to the Dom church which was built from 1254, and is dedicated to St. Martin..

Geerte church (Geertekerk) is a church in Utrecht. In the Middle Ages it was one of four parish churches in that city, and well the smallest lang youngest, devoted to the saint Gertrudis van Nijvel. The first building was erected on a space outside the walls, but between 1248 and 1259 the church was transferred insid the city walls. Many renovations took place since then: the quire and het koor en transept date from the fourteenth century, de ship side aisles from around 1400. The tower is probably the oldest preserved part (thirteenth century).
The Geerte church was used after the Reformation as Reformed church, stable, base, stockroom and from 1814 to 1930 again as Reformed church. Because of a flooding of the Rhine, hundreds of inhabitants of Veenendaal were temporarily housed in the church in 1855. The Geerte church was in a ruinous state at the end of the 1940's: the roof disappeared entirely and trees grew in the church space. The building was comptely restored from 1954 to 1956 after it was bought by the Remonstrant Brotherhood. The very sober Geerte church almost has a village character.
The Geerte church has very good acoustics since the restauration. Many orchestras and ensebles love to perform here.
Interior changes have been made in 2015, such as big glass walls. Geerte church is also used for congresses, meetings and other events. Heirloom - Venues of Utrecht is the current operator of the Geerte chuch.
