Domplein 200 years
Van puin tot plein

At Domplein, 2,000 years of history come together—but did you know it has only been a square for 200 years? And that Domplein was never intended to be a square?

In 2026, it will be 200 years since the debris of the collapsed nave of the Dom Church was cleared. This special anniversary year focuses on Domplein in the past, present, and future.
