It’s an awesome market with many fresh fruits. I definitely recommend the fries in the market! And the Portugese egg tart is also quite good.

Synagogue Groningen

Reviewed By Simone194 - Groningen, The Netherlands

Groningen has a larger to smaller Jewish community over the centuries. Due to WWII with the grueling holocaust most Jews from Groningen could not return, as they were murdered. Of the few surviving ones quite some emigrated to Israel. This synagogue was built in 1905 in oriental style by a protestant architect named Tjeerd Kuiper. It was opened for services in 1906. After the war it was neglected and during my childhood a commercial laundry shop was operating in it. Only in 1980/81 it finally was restored to its beauty. Sometimes there are art exhibitions in it. Then the part fo the synagogue is not open to the public. For a tour of that, it is very worthwhile the trouble to look at internet for opening hours to book a guided tour.
