Vredenburg Market

The original station building from 1843 would fit 25 times into the current hall. In fact, the station was soon too small. After the construction of the railway line to Rotterdam, the building was renovated for the first time in 1856 and the station was given a roof at the end of the 19th century. In 1936, the station was thoroughly renovated, renovated and expanded again, according to a design by architect Sybold van Ravesteyn. This time with a wavy facade. Two years later, the building largely burned out, after which it was restored. As a souvenir, a phoenix stood on the ridge for years. After numerous expansions, the new station with a capacity of 100 million travelers per year now seems ready for the future.

Pieterskerk

<nil>

The Pieterskerk is one of the oldest churches in Utrecht. Construction started in 1039 and ten years later the Pieterskerk was consecrated by Bishop Bernold. The church served as a Catholic church until 1580. It was then used as a military hospital and in 1621 a school even had an anatomy room set up in the choir. In the mid-17th century the church was again used for religion. It was the Walloon Reformed Church that held worship services here. This religious community consisted of French-speaking Protestants who had to flee from France and Wallonia. Hence the French texts at the entrance. Worship services are also still held in French.
