LOFEN PALACE

DISCOVER THE HIDDEN IMPERIAL PALACE

The Dom Square has been the heart of the city for centuries. This special square is the place where Utrecht originated. In Roman times as a fortress and later, in the Middle Ages, it is the place where Utrecht officially became a city. Utrecht was given city rights in the imperial palace, which was popularly called “Lofen”.

The Time Travel Lofen Palace Tour takes you to medieval Utrecht. A fire destroyed Lofen Palace in 1253, but the remains can still be found in the cellars beneath the Dom Square and the Fish Market.

900 years later, wander through the hidden Palace where Utrecht became a city…
