Korenbeurs, Neoclassical grain exchange in Groningen, Netherlands.
The Korenbeurs features a grand symmetrical design with a cast iron construction and extensive glass panels that allow natural light into the central market hall.
Built in 1865, this grain trading center emerged during the peak of Groningen grain cultivation, replacing a previous trading location at the west side of Vismarkt.
Three statues adorn the building: Mercury at the top, Neptune and Ceres in niches, representing trade, water navigation, and agriculture in Groningen's development.
The building, located at Akerkhof 1, now houses an Albert Heijn supermarket while maintaining its status as a protected national monument since 1971.
The interior structure incorporates an innovative nineteenth-century design where traders displayed grain samples in small bags for buyers to examine under natural light.
