It's  Open Monument Day on Saturday September 9th, and Sunday September 10th. Utrecht University is also opening its monumental doors to visitors on these days. Have you ever wondered what lies behind the classicist facades on the Drift or the Janskerkhof? Or perhaps you've always wanted to explore the Academiegebouw? Well, now's your chance! Several Utrecht University buildings are open for a visit, lecture or guided tours. For a list of accessible buildings, visit the Open Monument Day Utrecht UNESCO World Heritage site. The university owns numerous buildings, and some of them have been designated as Municipal or National monuments. Notably, the 'Fort aan de Hoofddijk' in the Botanical Gardens and the majority of the surrounding fields are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as 'Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie.' A Glimpse into the Future: UU buildings nominated as Young Monuments. Until recently, our monuments were primarily concentrated in the city center.
