Prinsentuin, Renaissance garden in Groningen, Netherlands
The Prinsentuin contains multiple sections with roses and herbs, surrounded by tall walls that separate it from the city center.
The garden dates back to 1626 when it was created for the princes of Nassau who resided in the adjacent Prinsenhof building.
The annual poetry festival 'Dichters in de Prinsentuin' brings together poets from the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking Belgium in this garden setting.
Visitors can access the garden daily from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM through the Zonnewijzerpoort entrance, which features a sundial with Latin inscriptions.
The garden maintains its original Renaissance layout with geometric patterns and represents one of the most authentic period gardens in the Netherlands.
