Description

A region full of greenery and tranquility, with a rich history, but also with room for innovation: the province of Groningen has many faces. Groningen has centuries of history and has been floating with Scandinavian countries since the Middle Ages. It is not for nothing that the provincial flag, with a cross in the middle, looks a lot like the flags of those countries, a result of the trade relationship. Terps, wierden and borgen, polders and fields, and beautiful sights such as the Martinitoren make Groningen an interesting part of the Netherlands that begs to be discovered. This bike tour takes you to the Menkemaborg. The current Groningen castle was built around 1400. As the name suggests, this castle was owned by the Menkema family. In 1614, Osebrandt Clant, who now owned it, renovated the rectangular building. He had a large part built on it, so that the building got a nice open U-shape. In 1682 the estate came into the possession of the Alberda van Menkema family, who renovated the estate for the second time around 1700. After the death of the last resident in 1902, the deposit became empty. In 1921 the deposit was donated to the Groninger Museum. The tower mill Ceres in Spijk, built in 1839, is also a nice stop. The mill, together with the church tower opposite it, determines the face of the picturesque village of Spijk. With the mill, which is used to learn the trade, grain is ground and barley is husked.
