The Utrecht Dom Tower

Utrecht Dom is a striking Gothic church in the middle of the Dutch city of Utrecht. The church was built in 1254 as a continuation of the Romanesque cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Utrecht and was dedicated to St. Martin. The church has been a Protestant since 1580. The 112.32 meters high Dom Tower, which was built from 1321 to 1382, is the highest church tower in the Netherlands and the tallest building in Utrecht. The fact that one colossal tower was chosen for the construction of the Dom and not a two-tower front as was customary with cathedrals, is probably due to a lack of space: the area on the west side of the Dom was largely already built on. The Dom Tower can be visited: from the spectacular platform at a height of one hundred meters you can enjoy the beautiful view.

Snellies Waskit

Mandy and Manon Snel from Utrecht focuses on handmade candles of special towers and objects. It started with the Dom Tower candle, conceived, designed, and produced by their uncle Ruud Snel in Ruud's Waskit. After his death, Mandy and Manon renamed the Waskit to Snellies Waskit and expanded the range with more towers and objects such as the Amsterdammertje.
