Along the churches
During this route, you will meet plenty of beautiful churches between the city of Groningen and Delfzijl. Often the door is already open or you borrow a key from the neighbours. Along the way, you will discover how beautiful and rich this country is.
Some call them beacons of silence, peace and contemplation, others praise their robust appearance and still others argue that together they are one big museum. Sometimes we mention France or Tuscany to underline how beautiful the Groningen churches are. But actually, they don't need that at all. Above all, they are themselves. And that is precisely why they are so special.
Many of our churches have ancient roots. The red-brown monastic bricks, baked from Groninger clay, give them character. They are from here. And the towers? They are often not even that high. But on top of the mounds, they rise above everything else. Inside, there is much to discover: from centuries-old wall paintings to beautifully bricked vaults. You simply cannot avoid Groningen's churches.
