St. Salvator's Church, Medieval church in Utrecht, Netherlands.

St. Salvator's Church features a basilica layout with a deep choir, transept, and westwork construction supported by two substantial towers at its western end.

Founded around 720 AD by Willibrord following his papal mission, the church underwent multiple reconstructions including major changes during Bishop Ansfried's time between 995 and 1010.

The church functioned as one of five collegiate churches in Utrecht before the Protestant Reformation, maintaining immunity from civil law and serving as a center of religious education.

Visitors can observe the original foundation remnants integrated into the paving of Domplein square, located in front of the current Dom Church in central Utrecht.

Archaeological excavations during World War II revealed previously unknown sections of the church, including wall remnants and limestone sarcophagi from an early church annex.
