Religious, Spiritual sights in Groningen City

  1. A

    Synagogues

    There are a few working synagogues left in the country. It began life a century ago as a mosque (the light arches and minarets are dead giveaways) but now houses a school and temporary exhibition space; its beautifully restored wooden ceiling is one of the interior’s highlights.

  2. B

    Martinikerk

    The 16th-century Martinikerk is at the northern corner of the Grote Markt. Its tower, the Martinitoren, is 96m tall and is considered to have one of the most finely balanced profiles in the country. A climb to the top yields stellar views.
