About this audio guide
This guide to the Janskerk in Utrecht starts on the paving outside its west front and reaches back to Bishop Bernold, who founded the church in the eleventh century as one arm of a cross of churches. It follows the church's two troubled west towers and the summer storm of sixteen seventy-four that swept across the whole city. Stand facing the facade, near the outlines set into the pavement.
