Voormalig postkantoor
Groningen's former post office was opened in 1909. Earlier, the Academic Hospital stood on this site. When it was demolished, government architect C.H. Peters designed the neo-Gothic post office.

On the ground floor is a large public hall. This used to house counters such as 'Postal Orders', 'Franking', 'Telephone Boxes' and 'Insurance Savings Bank'. In 1937, the building was greatly extended to automate telephone traffic. In the 1990s, the interior of the post office hall was renovated and restored. In the process, many original elements were brought back. Since 2009, the building is no longer used as a post office.
