thank you so much!! great story told in a great way. i hope all stays like history left it to us, because not only I fears that rebuilding the ship will bring ego's forward that will demand to add their own signature, concepts, statements. we dont need that to be proud! but thanks again
Jan van Nassau has nothing to do at all with building the church. His statue is on the square because of the "Unie van Utrecht" (Union of Utrecht) in 1579. And by the way, he was not a clergyman but a brother of William of Orange-(Nassau). A very beautiful film!!!. There was a elect bishop Jan van Nassau from 1267 to 1290 but he was never ordinated . The first stone for the Domchurch was laid in 1254 by bishop Hendrik van Vianden. The Union of Utrecht was not signed in the church but in the chapter house, now part of the University of Utrecht.
There were 2 Jan van nassaus, one which was important during fundraising around 1285 (nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_van_Nassau_(elect), and one 3 centuries later who was also the brother of William of Orange. I agree that it’s not the smartest move to use the footage of the statue of William of Oranges brother for both Jan’s.
Thanks, nice to hear. Just to learn; can you be more specific about things you think are incorrect? As stated in the description, numerous sources have been used for the information and to finish off a Dom Tower empoyee has fact checked the whole script. So we're curious about which parts are incorrect then?

Nice images of my city. Some minor details in the story are incorrect but still very interesting. Greetings from Utrecht The Netherlands.
