Restoration and revitalization of a national monument Leeuwarden / Netherlands / 2022

The Utrecht in Leeuwarden
The initiators of this project have a clear mission. In 2017, the national monument accidentally crossed the path of an enterprising Leeuwarden couple. From a personal interest in cultural history, art and architecture, the ambitious plan arose to take on the challenge of giving the monument a big push in the right direction.
By preserving and cherishing it and taking it to the next level with high-quality contemporary additions. Another century ahead! The goal was to open Utrecht to the public. An idealistic project, born from the desire to cherish and share this unique history. De Utrecht is located in the historic city centre of Leeuwarden, De Utrecht is 'in itself' a fairly closed and uninviting building.
It is not large and is both literally and figuratively overshadowed by the adjacent warehouse. By opening the doors and making the courtyard accessible, a piece of Leeuwarden has been brought back to life.
