About Stichting Oude Groninger Kerken
The objective of the Oude Groninger Kerken Foundation is: To maintain historic church buildings in the province of Groningen and to promote interest in them. In Groningen there is nothing that means as much to people as the wierden landscape with its ancient churches. These beacons in the landscape are famous far beyond the provincial borders. And are even counted among the highlights of what is still tangible of the old North Sea civilizations.Address : Coehoornsingel 14, 9711 BS Groningen, Netherlands
