Utrecht Why?
Because I lived in this beautiful city for 12 years with a lot of pleasure, yesterday I visited Utrecht again and I saw this great looking Domkerk , from my house in Utrecht -about many years ago- I always saw the top of this church

St Martin's Cathedral, Utrecht,

The Church as seen from the Tower , infront the temporarly rebuilt section (2004)

Domtoren or "DOM CHURCH "(in Dutch called: Domkerk) was the cathedral of the diocese of Utrecht during the middle ages.. Once the countriy's largest church and only cathedral, dedicated to Saint Martins of Tours, it has been a Protestant Church since 1580. The building is the ons church in The Netherlands that closely resembles the classic Gothic sttyle as developed in France, All other Gothis churches in the Netherlands belong to one of the many regional variants. Unlike most of its French predecessors, the Dom church has only one tower, the 112m (368 feet) high Dom Tower wich is the Hallmark of the city.
