Utrecht, Administrative province in central Netherlands

The province spans 155,400 hectares across 26 municipalities between Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland to the west and Gelderland to the east.

The region became a Prince-Bishopric in 1024 as part of the Holy Roman Empire and later played a central role during the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule.

The northern section includes the Gooi region, while numerous castles and manor houses built by Amsterdam merchants during 1650-1720 dot the landscape.

The Provincial Council, consisting of 49 elected members, manages the administrative duties from their office at Archimedeslaan 6 in Utrecht city.

The province contains the Utrecht Hill Ridge and fertile river valleys, with the Lower Rhine, Kromme Rhine, Lek, Vecht, and Eem rivers flowing through its territory.
