The Archdiocese of Utrecht (Latin: Archidioecesis Ultraiectensis) is an archdiocese of the Catholic Church in the Netherlands. It is the main see of the ecclesiastical province of Utrecht. The archbishop is the metropolitan of all six suffragan dioceses in the ecclesiastical province of Utrecht: the dioceses of Breda, Groningen-Leeuwarden, Haarlem-Amsterdam, Roermond, Rotterdam, and 's-Hertogenbosch. As these dioceses cover the entire present Netherlands, the Archbishop of Utrecht is considered the first bishop of the country although the title of Primate of the Netherlands strictly speaking still belongs to the Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussel, now in Belgium. The liturgical center of the archdiocese of Utrecht is the historic Saint Catherine Cathedral which replaced the prior cathedral, Saint Martin Cathedral, after it was taken by Protestants in the revolt.
