St. Catherine's Cathedral
- St. Catherine's Cathedral
The Cathedral of Saint Catherine is a medieval church in Utrecht. It was built as part of the Carmelite friary founded in 1456. Since 1529 the work on the building was continued by the Knights Hospitallers. The large church was completed only in the middle of the 16th century. From 1580 to 1815 it hosted a Protestant community. That year it was returned to the catholics, first as a garrison church, since 1842 as a parish church. Since 1853 St. Catherine's Church is the seat of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Utrecht, the former cathedral (St. Martin's) remaining the Protestant church. As such St. Catherine's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic metropolitan church of Netherlands. Part of the relics of Saint Willibrord, patron saint of the Benelux countries, is kept in the reliquary under the main altar.
