About Lunetten
What are the main landmarks in Lunetten?
Marcuskerk stands among the housing blocks, and the Immanuel Church serves a congregation on the same side of Utrecht, both of them working parish buildings rather than sights on a visitor's map. Beyond the churches, Lunetten turns to sport. The Sportterrein aan de Liesbosweg and the Sportterrein aan de Koningsweg give Lunetten its playing fields.
What is the history of Lunetten?
Lunetten belongs to the newer Utrecht rather than the old core, a quarter built out for housing on the southeastern side and left without the works and yards that gave older districts their shape. The churches are parish ones. Marcuskerk and the Immanuel Church serve congregations within the housing, and the two sports grounds, at the Liesbosweg and the Koningsweg, hold the open land that building did not take.
Where is Lunetten?
Lunetten occupies the southeastern part of Utrecht, mainly housing, with playing fields at the Liesbosweg and the Koningsweg along its open edges.
