Janskerk, Romanesque church at Janskerkhof square in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The Janskerk features thick stone walls, rounded arches, and a central nave flanked by two side aisles in traditional Romanesque design.

Bishop Bernold of Utrecht established the church in 1050 as one of five collegiate churches that formed the Utrecht church cross pattern.

The building serves the Ecumenical Student Community of Utrecht through regular Sunday services and hosts classical music concerts throughout the year.

Located at Janskerkhof 26, the church opens its doors during weekday mornings and maintains an active schedule of musical performances.

The church sanctuary transformed into Utrecht's first university library in 1636 after the Protestant Reformation changed its religious function.
