St. Gertrude's Cathedral, Cathedral from Old Catholic Church in Utrecht, Netherlands.

St. Gertrude's Cathedral features Neo-Romanesque architecture with brick construction, large windows, and galleries created through renovated medieval house floors.

Built between 1912 and 1914, the cathedral replaced the original St. Gertrude's Chapel from 1634, which served as a hidden church during religious restrictions.

The cathedral houses over 1700 religious relics in numerous containers, including a fragment of St. Willibrord's rib, reflecting Netherlands' religious heritage.

Located at Willemsplantsoen 2, the cathedral opens for visitors on Saturdays and specific weekdays, particularly during lunch concerts and special events.

The cathedral's altar contains hundreds of containers holding religious relics, making it one of the largest collections in the Netherlands.
