St. Mary's Church, Romanesque church in Utrecht, Netherlands
The Mariakerk featured two towers next to the westwork, embodying the early Romanesque architectural elements with Lombard style influences from northern Italy.
Founded in 1085 by Henry IV and Bishop Conrad of Utrecht, the church construction drew inspiration from the architectural design of Speyer Cathedral.
The church belonged to the Utrecht Cross formation, with five collegiate churches positioned in a geometric cross pattern across the medieval city layout.
The structure maintained its religious function until 1813, when Napoleon authorized its demolition for materials, leading to complete destruction by 1816.
The Gothic choir, added in 1421, replaced the original Romanesque structure and transformed the architectural composition of the eastern section.
