The Utrecht region is steeped in history and cultural heritage. From medieval castles and churches to old fortress towns and countryside estates, traces of the past are visible everywhere. At its center lies the city of Utrecht, home to the iconic Dom Tower, ancient canals, and centuries-old cloisters. But beyond the city, you’ll find remarkable sites like the grand De Haar Castle, the Dutch Waterline defense system, and charming historic towns such as Oudewater, Amersfoort, and Wijk bij Duurstede.

Many of these places are still in use or open to visitors, offering a hands-on experience of history. They provide a rich backdrop for photography, storytelling, education, and events, and reflect the diverse and layered heritage of the region.
