Schöner kleiner Innenhof, allerdings eher überlaufen.

Sehr schöner Kreuzgang. Viel Andrang.

Very beautiful architecture it’s full of history love it!

A really nice pandhof with nice architecture and a quiet atmosphere even though it was full of tourists we still enjoyed the visit and were able to seat and enjoy the view.

Beautiful place where you can have a nice break just sitting down and enjoying the beautiful architecture of the arcades, arches, spiers etc. I enjoyed my time looking at the so many particular of this beautiful building . Inside you can find a bar . From the University of Utrecht website translated with Google Traslate because the website page doesn't work with the English version of the University website : The oldest foundations of the current Pandhof date from the end of the 14th century. The Pandhof formed the connection between the Dom Church and the Groot Kapittelhuis, part of the current Academy Building. In addition, the Pandhof was a cemetery and a place for religious contemplation. Because it remained unclear to whom the Pandhof belonged for quite some time, local residents were able to do their thing for a long time. Nut trees were planted and the courtyard was used for storing old wagons, raising chickens and drinking beer. In 1634 the 'Illustrious School' was founded, a school that resulted from the ideas of the new Protestant church. Because students had to walk via the Pandhof to the lecture halls in the Groot Kapittelhuis, the Pandhof became the 'walking place of d'Academie'. The walnut trees were cut down and all local residents lost the right of way. The Pandhof became the property of the current University of Utrecht. However, it was unclear who was responsible for the maintenance of the Pandhof. Destruction set in. It was not until 1962 that a garden was laid out for the first time in the Pandhof, designed by municipal architect Otto. Otto devised the pavement with boulders and the division into 23 sections. Unfortunately, there was no clarity about the responsibility for maintenance, as a result of which the garden – once again – deteriorated. In 1975 law student Joke Frankenhuyzen asked the university board for permission to turn the garden into a medieval herb garden. Together with Sies Jonkman, she was able to transform and maintain the garden. Under Jonkman's leadership, the garden grew into an ornamental herb garden.
