Metaal Kathedraal, Utrecht, Cultural and ecological center in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The former church building features a 15-hectare green space with edible plants, flowers, and sustainable energy systems including woodchip heating solutions.
Built in 1857 by architect Herman Jan van den Brink, the structure transitioned from a church to a metal factory before becoming a cultural center in 2011.
The center hosts educational lectures, wellness programs, workshops, and studios where residents participate in sustainable living practices and artistic projects.
Located at Rijksstraatweg 20 in Utrecht, the facility maintains a circular test garden demonstrating ecological farming methods and sustainable construction techniques.
The building incorporates a biomeiler system, which uses woodchip fences containing heating pipes to generate heat for households while producing agricultural compost.
