Prinsenhof and Martini Tower

Turfsingel 43, Groningen City, The Netherlands view map

Historic Renaissance-style garden with herbs and roses, plus a tearoom. The oldest part of the building dates back to 1487.

The Prinsenhof in Groningen has a rich history. Originally a monastery, it became a residence for the stadtholders of Friesland, Groningen, and Drenthe in the 16th century. After the departure of the last stadtholder in 1795, the complex was used, among other things, as a military hospital and later as a museum. It is a national monument.
Today, it serves as a hotel and an event venue.

A sharp and powerful direct line pointing right to a staircase across the street, making the small entrance at the top of the staircase suddenly seem prominant and magical. ~VVV~
