BARMSTAD is more than a walking tour. It is an invitation to see the city of Utrecht anew: as a place where religion, inspiration, culture and social engagement are intertwined. Let stories, music and encounters bring the city to life around the centuries-old Works of Mercy. Walk through the streets of Utrecht based on this podcast and experience how themes such as hunger, thirst, illness, imprisonment, death, care for the earth, homelessness and nakedness are visible and tangible throughout the city. A project by the Ecumenical Janskerkgemeente and the Protestant Jacobikerk

The Imprisoned and Sick

Welcome to this route through the heart of Utrecht, past places that embody visiting and caring for the imprisoned and sick.

Reflect on how ‘locking someone up’ can evolve into ‘being trapped within yourself.’

Hear the call to care for one another in the young voices of old Augustinian Sisters.

Listen to an impression of how a composer experiences his illness.

Encounter the resilience of Sister Bertken, the anchorite of the Buurkerk.

Wander through a garden, your thoughts, and an ancient story about mercy as an act of madness.

This route passes by: Wolvenplein, former prison, the Monastery of the Augustinian sisters of Saint-Monica, St. John's Church, the Buurchurch, now museum Speelklok and St. Catherine's Convent, which is now a museum. For the map of this route, go to: www.barmstad.nl
