However, the remains can still be found – concealed in cellars beneath the modern city. Step back in time to medieval Utrecht and wander beneath the arches of Lofen Palace. In the Middle Ages, Utrecht was part of the Holy Roman Empire. This was a gigantic empire that stretched over much of Europe. To rule this empire, the emperor traveled from palace to palace. Also in Utrecht stood one of his palaces, called Lofen. On 2 June 1122 Emperor Henry V granted Utrecht city rights. One of the charters states: 'Data in palacio imperatoris in Traiecto, quod vulgor Lofen dicitur', or issued in the imperial palace in Utrecht, which is popularly called Lofen.
