About this audio guide
This guide to the Sint Willibrordkerk in Utrecht starts with a parish that had outgrown its old church and a cramped plot hemmed in by houses on the Minrebroederstraat. It follows the contractor hired in the eighteen seventies to build here, a painter who slipped on a mural, and a priest named Winand Kotte in the decades after the Second Vatican Council. Best heard standing near the carved pulpit.
