Most reviewed Monuments & Statues in Groningen Province
- 4.5 Veenkoloniaal Museum (102 reviews)
-Great exhibitions
Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Monuments & Statues • History Museums
I'm not informed if there is such thing as prize given to the best museum in NL, but Veenkoloniaal Museum Veendam is Nr.1 at least on my list. In respect to permanent collection many museums do excell, but Veenkoloniaal is exceptional in well thought out and executed shoert term exhibitions. Kudos goes to the one and only Mr. Riga (director of museum Hendrik Andries Hachmer). Recommended without reservations! See more..
- 3.5 'Peerd van Ome Loeks' (65 reviews)
-The statue of the white horse ,a symbol of the local culture
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
I was curious to hear the story of the unusual statue ,it was told to me by one of my Dutch relatives,during my last visit in Groningen. Any tourist is welcomed by the horse of uncle Loeks in front of the railway station ,why there ,I have no idea .The statue was created by an artist ,being a symbol of the local culture .Long time ago ,a farmer who had a stable in the area ,lost his racing horse ,that got sick and died .A legend says that the butcher came to take the horse ,you can imagine how upset was his master ,children or maybe his friends invented a silly song about uncle Luke's horse...I can imagine the protest of locals when they tried to remove the statue temporarily ,..
