Dom Tower of Utrecht, Gothic bell tower at Domplein, Netherlands
The Dom Tower reaches a height of 112.32 meters, making it the tallest church tower in the Netherlands with 465 steps to climb.
Construction of the tower began in 1321 and continued until 1382, following designs by John of Hainaut as part of Saint Martin's Cathedral.
The tower houses a carillon of fourteen bells created by Geert van Wou in 1505, including the massive Salvator bell weighing 8,200 kilograms.
Visitors can access the tower through guided tours daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with tickets available online or at the RonDom visitor center.
A tornado in 1674 destroyed the cathedral's nave, separating the tower from the rest of the structure and creating its current freestanding position.
