The Archdiocese of Utrecht (Latin: Archidioecesis Ultraiectensis) is an archdiocese of the Catholic Church in the Netherlands. It is the head of the ecclesiastical province. The archdiocesan bishop is the metropolitan bishop for all six suffragan dioceses in the Ecclesiastical Province of Utrecht: the dioceses of Breda, Groningen-Leeuwarden, Haarlem-Amsterdam, Roermond, Rotterdam, and 's-Hertogenbosch. The liturgical center of the archdiocese is the historic Saint Catherine Cathedral which replaced the prior cathedral, Saint Martin Cathedral, after it was taken by Protestants in the revolt.
