Crown jewels of the city

The city of Groningen has eight crown jewels: the Sterrebos, the Springerpark, the Turfeiland, the Nieuwe Kerkhof, the Prinsentuin, the Guyotplein, the Martinikerkhof and the Noorderplantsoen. One by one, these are green spots in the city where nature and history together provide a special quality.

They are cared for and protected like precious jewels. The eight Crown Jewels are part of the green structure vision Green Peppers in which the municipality of Groningen describes its sustainable, green ambitions; ambitions that suit a city with a high-quality living environment and the typical Groningen identity: compact and intense.

Partly due to their respectable age, The Crown Jewels add a special dimension to the city's green spaces. Specially designed 'diamonds' mark the jewels and provide information about the ecological and cultural-historical value of these varied green spaces.
