Utrecht after the Storm, 1700
Utrecht in 1700 is a Dutch Golden Age canal city still marked by the 1674 storm that brought down the cathedral nave and left the Dom tower standing alone across an open square. The walk moves from the low river approaches along the wharf cellars and busy canals through university courts, patrician façades and hidden hofjes to a bastioned vantage above the old city.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Utrecht as it stood in 1700 (“Utrecht”).
