Lucasbolwerk, Street and heritage site in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The Lucasbolwerk extends through central Utrecht with traditional Dutch architecture and connects to the neighboring Nobelstraat at its southwest end.

Between 1577 and 1597, the Lucasbolwerk was constructed as one of five earthen defensive structures under fortress architect Adriaen Anthonisz's supervision.

The street currently features the Utrecht Stadsschouwburg theater and two student associations, Unitas S.R and B.I.T.O.N, contributing to local entertainment.

Several cafes, residential buildings, and office spaces line the street, making it a central location for both business and leisure activities.

A sugar refinery called Suikerhuis operated on this former bulwark from 1722, later transforming into a tile factory in 1844 before its demolition.
