The Bishop's Utrecht, 1400
Utrecht in 1400 is the prince-bishop’s city: a compact clerical capital of brick churches, cloisters and canal wharves that channels the old Rhine through its heart. This walk traces the cathedral cluster around the Dom, the sunken wharves and cellars of the Oudegracht, the collegiate churches set as a cross, and the cloister gardens and markets that sustain the town.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Utrecht as it stood in 1400 (“Utrecht”).
