Moi Winsum

In Groningen, you say ‘moi’ when you greet each other. And if you really want to do it properly, you raise your index finger as well. The same goes for Winsum – the most beautiful village in the Netherlands. ‘A beautiful village’, is how the jury summed up their verdict. A village with shops, pubs, windmills, churches and narrow streets, with the Winsumerdiep cutting right through it. A welcoming village brimming with heritage. Come and soak up the atmosphere for yourself and get to know the local businesses. Watch the videos and read the stories. Discover the people behind the most beautiful village.

“There’s no trace of that typical Groningen reserve here. Everyone greets one another in the street, which creates a sense of warmth and hospitality.”

Johan van der Beek, Kaas-Notenhuysch Winsum
