The Dom Tower (Dutch: Domtoren) of Utrecht is the tallest church tower in The Netherlands,[1] at 112.32 metres (368,5 feet) in height.[2]
The Dom Tower of Utrecht, as seen in the third edition of r/Place, was part of an architecture collage. The other artworks in the collage were: the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, Cube Houses, and the Mauritshuis. The artwork was completed around 13:30 GMT on July 24th on the Flag of The Netherlands, but without the cross on its roof which was added 2 hours later. The pixel art remained until the Great Whiteout.
History[edit]
The church tower is considered the symbol of Utrecht. The tower was part of St. Martin's Cathedral and was built between 1321 and 1382, to a Gothic design by John of Hainaut. The cathedral was never fully completed due to lack of money. Since the unfinished nave collapsed in 1674, the Dom tower has been a freestanding tower. The tower stands at the spot where the city of Utrecht originated almost 2000 years ago.
