Icon in scaffolding

Restoration of a Utrecht city icon
A century after the completion of the previous major restoration, the Utrecht Dom Tower was due for major maintenance. What does it take in 2024 when a large-scale inner-city but specialist restoration project has to be set up?

Icon in scaffolding reports on the restoration of the Dom Tower, which was prepared from 2016 and carried out between 2020 and 2024. The organization of the project, the research that was done, the plans that were written and the execution of the work form the core of the book on this restoration. Many of the activities related to the natural stone on the tower. That is why this material, but also the stone and sculpture that was made from it and the restoration work that was carried out on it, are discussed in detail in this book. The restoration of the stained glass, the slate covering and the masonry on the tower are also reported on.
