About this audio guide
This guide to the Pandhof van de Dom, the cloister garden of Utrecht's cathedral, starts with a church whose parts do not add up and follows it to a summer night in sixteen seventy-four. Along the way you meet Saint Martin in stone, a bronze canon by the Brom brothers, and the law student who rescued a neglected plot. Best heard walking the cloister with your eyes on the carved gables above the windows.
