Heritage
Groningen-style distinctiveness
Herd reflex? Never! For centuries, Groningen residents have been known to chart their own course. They have built dwelling hills on the fertile salt marshes and an impregnable fortress in a marsh. Their stubborn and determined nature was shaped by robust churches, Groningen estate houses and creative architecture. This is how they controlled the land. Scoop by scoop and brick by brick.
