Sterrenburg Bastion Remains

Highlight • Historical Site

Bastion Sterrenburg was built between 1554 and 1558 in the time of Emperor Charles V. On the defensive canal, Charles V commissioned city architect Willem van Noort to build four stone strongholds based on the Italian fortification system. Sterrenburg was one of them. Nowadays it is used as an art studio.

Nieuwegracht

Highlight (Segment) • River

I worked on the new canal for a while. It was a joy to go to work.
The new canal is a bit quieter than the old canal because there are fewer spectacular buildings. Yet, the new canal is worth a visit precisely because of its many beautiful facades.

Park Lepelenburg

Highlight • Rest Area

Small but gezellig park along the outer-canal. Park is surrounded by a small lap of 250meter and perfect for doing some exercises.

Muntsluis Utrecht

Highlight • Monument

From this site: usine-utrecht.nl/ensemble-merwedekanaal-utrecht
An interesting treatise on how this lock complex (constructed at the intersection of Leidsche Rijn and Merwede Canal in 1885) was the driving force behind all kinds of industrial activity in this area: Not coincidentally, the Munt, but also Hamburger (Now part of DE), Stichtsche Olie- and Lijnkoekenfabriek, later Cereol (now a library and catering industry), the associated service and lockkeepers' houses are also worth a visit and monuments.
