Pandhof Domkerk (Dom Church Garden), Utrecht

Adjacent to the Dom Church's choir are its lovely gardens. They are accessed through an 1894 neo-Gothic gate on Dom Square.

The gardens are part of the church cloister, which was built in two phases. The eastern and southern arms have different window tracings compared to the western. The vaults are also different, with the older having rib vaults and the newest parts having net vaults.

Above each window and vault, you will find scenes from the life of St. Martin. Unfortunately, some of these are deteriorating, and they've been replaced and restored several times over the years.

There are more recent additions, as well. In the center of the garden stands a 1913 bronze statue and water feature. The tea house that overlooks the gardens was built during the last reconstruction in 1988.
