Twijnstraat aan de Werf aan de Oudegracht in Utrecht. The approximately two-kilometre-long Oudegracht can be seen as the connection between the Kromme Rijn and the Vecht rivers and cuts through the entire city centre. For centuries, it was used as a supply and drainage route for merchandise and building materials. The canal water was used for all kinds of production processes, such as beer brewing. The construction of sluices in 1275 gave the water level a constant low level. Storage cellars of houses were extended under the streets to the canal and new quays were built before these cellars. This created the typical wharves and wharf cellars. This process was complete in the 15th century.
Utrecht is beautiful!
