Our history
Vivacity Blanche Square breathes history: the city of Groningen arose – strategically located – on the northernmost part of the Hondsrug so that residents were relatively protected from high water and invaders. Alongside this Hondsrug, the Drentse Aa stream flowed toward the sea, which provided a bustling trade. It was here, on the Hoge der A and the Lage der A, that the city’s first harbor arose where enterprising Groningers manufactured a low and a high quay for continuous loading and unloading during low and high tides. Warehouses and storage facilities were established along these canals, but coffee houses and inns also served as meeting places.
Until well into the 19th century, the influence of the sea is perceptible in Groningen; today, the canals and associated quays are mainly at the service of tourists. During the 20th century, restoration work took place to preserve its historical value and architectural beauty. Today, the beautiful historic warehouses and ships provide an atmospheric, picturesque and photogenic spectacle.
