The Dom Tower (Dutch: Domtoren 'Cathedral Tower') of Utrecht is the tallest church tower in the Netherlands,^[1] at 112.32 metres (368,5 feet) in height.^[2] It is considered the symbol of Utrecht.^[1] The tower was part of St. Martin's Cathedral, also known as the Dom Church, and was built between 1321 and 1382,^[1] to a design by John of Hainaut.^[3] The cathedral was never fully completed due to lack of money. Since the unfinished nave collapsed in 1674, the Dom tower has been a freestanding tower. The tower stands at the spot where the city of Utrecht originated almost 2,000 years ago.^[1]
