Utrecht, Oudegracht with shipyards and shipyard cellars, as seen from the Bezembrug with on the right the Winkel van Sinkel | 305612

Utrecht, the Oudegracht with the Bezembrug and the Bakkerbrug, right under the Winkel van Sinkel. Characteristic for the Oude Gracht are the shipyards and shipyard cellars, which served as storage and supply of goods; because the banks were raised when digging the canal, the houses were on a higher level and there was room to make a corridor from the bank to the cellar of the houses, eventually the cellars were broken through to the bank..© 15 mei 2019 Aerophoto-Schiphol Aerial Photography
