Utrecht The Spine (de Spinde)


You can hardly see the small house with the red roof in front of the hughe Dom Tower.



It is called the Spinde and is the only 15th century remain of the Bishop Palace till 1803.

The Spinde was the warehouse for the Bishop Palace and stored grain and other food.

Later the building was rebuilt to a private house.

Much later the house served as a tower watchman's hut.
