Goudkantoor, Renaissance building in Groningen, Netherlands
The Goudkantoor features ornate red brick walls, stepped gables, and decorative sandstone elements on its facade near the Grote Markt square.
Built in 1635, this structure initially served as a tax collection office for the province of Groningen, displaying the Latin inscription Date Caesari quae sunt Caesaris.
The building bears the coat of arms of Groningen and functioned as the Waarborgbureau voor Goud- en Zilverwerken, certifying gold and silver products from 1814 to 1887.
Located at Waagplein 1, the Goudkantoor now operates as a restaurant, open from Monday through Saturday 10:00 to 21:00 and Sundays 12:00 to 18:00.
The structure survived World War II thanks to local firefighters who protected it from destruction, preserving its original architectural features.
