The Lijnmarkt takes its name from the linen market that for centuries was located here. Around 1900 the Lijnmarkt together with Choorstraat and Zadelstrrat was one of the most important and busiest shopping streets of Utrecht.
Every saturday in the area of the Bakkersbrug, Choorstraat and the Lijnmarkt the ´Pantoffelparade` or ´Slipper Parade` took place. Here well to do Utrechters took to the busy shopping streets to parade in their finest shoes and clothing whilst enjoying the shop window displays!
