St. Martin's Cathedral, Utrecht, Gothic cathedral in Utrecht, Netherlands

The cathedral measures 49 meters in length and rises to a height of 112.3 meters with its stone tower dominating the city skyline.

Construction began in 1254 after a devastating fire destroyed the previous Romanesque church, and the Gothic structure reached completion in 1517.

The cathedral forms part of the Kerkenkruis, a medieval cross-shaped formation of five churches that defined the religious layout of Utrecht.

The cathedral remains separated from its tower since 1674, when a tornado destroyed the connecting nave, creating a public square between them.

The cathedral contains medieval burial slabs and tombs, including the resting place of Emperor Conrad II's heart and internal organs.
