As soon as you enter the Oude Boteringestraat in Groningen, you experience the rich history of the city. Here you can admire the oldest and best preserved parts of the historic city. This street tells stories from the past. Like the story of Professor Tjalling Joostes Halbertsma. It was this professor Halbertsma who fell for a characteristic building whose facade is decorated with wooden spandrels and floral motifs. A facade that changes color with every season, making the street seem to be constantly in motion. It is therefore not surprising that Tjalling Halbertsma chose this building to found his family. Here he would leave an indelible impression with his adventures that is still palpable.
