Dom Tower of Utrecht
An open Gothic lantern crowns Utrecht’s tall detached church tower.
The story behind the place
The Dom Tower was built between 1321 and 1382 as part of Utrecht’s cathedral. A storm destroyed the connecting nave in 1674, leaving the tower separate from the church. Its square lower stages rise to an open octagonal lantern. Look for the stone tracery, clock and slender roof-top weather vane.
