The Chapel of Our Lady in St. Catherine's Cathedral, Utrecht.

St. Catherine's Cathedral is the bishop's church of the Archdiocese of Utrecht. The cathedral is located in the old city centre. The building was constructed between 1470 and 1551 and was built as a monastery church. Upon entering, the Chapel of Mary is immediately to the right.

The statue of Mary of Kevelaer surrounded by medallions. This artwork comes from the former Mary altar of the 19th-century Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Utrecht, which closed in 1972. The medallions were made in 1887 by the studio of Frederich Wilhelm Mengelberg (1837-1919). The statue of Mary has stood in the cathedral since 1992. On 27 October 2002, the Mary chapel was consecrated.

Address: Lange Nieuwstraat 36, 3512 PH Utrecht.
