  • What is a Time Travel Lofen Palace?

    On 2 June 1122, Emperor Henry V granted the people of Utrecht town privileges in his palace called ‘Lofen’. The palace burnt down in 1253, but the remains are still located in cellars between Domplein and the Vismarkt. They haven’t been accessible for decades, until now.

    Visit this ‘birthplace’ of the city and travel through time, back to Utrecht in 1122 when it functioned as the capital of the Netherlands. A visit is always with a guided tour and available in English (and Dutch).
