EuroTripping – Utrecht Architectural Details

While we stopped for a few hours in Utrecht to charge our EV during our European road trip last summer, we spent some time walking around the historic old town. Last week I posted a few pics I shot with the canals as the main focus, and today I wanted to share some architectural details that caught my eye.

Here are some shots that focus on a couple of Utrecht’s older sites — including St Martin’s Cathedral, the Pandohof Garden and cloister, and the Verzetsmonument (a statue by Corinne Franzén-Heslenfeld honouring the Dutch resistance in WWII) next to the Dom tower — as well as a few of the somewhat less-dated structures and details I fancied.

The red shutters caught my eye on Huis Zoudenbalch
A cute brick building from 1643
A duo of red doors in the Pandhof Garden cloister
Light shining through the open window casements
More red shutters (and a red staircase)
A bit of the gothic details on St Martin’s Cathedral
Looking up inside the cathedral
Enjoying one of the groups of stained glass windows
Looking up from outside the cathedral
A copy of one of the Jellingstenene (a carved rundestone) raised by Harald Bluetooth to memorialize his parents upon the conquest of Norway and Denmark
A pigeon in a walkway around a different church garden
A church window, backlit
Another view of the window casements, this time from the garden side
The Verzetsmonument, which the people of Utrecht apparently call: Mien with her ice cream cone

    1. Ha! Thanks very much!! Yeah, I guess this blog (and over on Substack where I post pretty much the same stuff) is the exhibition. 😉 It was a wild 3 weeks (and only the first of three trips last summer — but at least the other two were to a single destination). I really appreciate your kind comments!!
