Dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours, the St. Martin’s Cathedral was first opened in 1254 and has a storied past as one of the two pre-Reformation cathedrals in the country. It was once the cathedral of the Diocese of Utretch before it converted into a protestant church in 1580. Visitors to the cathedral ought to make time for its three main highlights: the interior, the cloister and the tower. Though St. Martin’s Cathedral actually has rather simple interiors, it is known for being the home of several tombs that house the internal organs of Emperors Conrad II and Henry IV. Meanwhile, the ambulatory is home to fragments of a Holy Spulcher by Gherit Splintersz. The cloister, circa 14th or 15 century, features windows with gorgeous scenes of Saint Martin, while the tower is known for being a symbol of the city.
