Huize Maas, Dance hall and cultural venue in Vismarkt, Netherlands.
Huize Maas is a performance venue in Groningen's Vismarkt, designed to host dance and music events. The main hall features acoustics and layout specifically planned for live performances.
Herman Maas founded the building in 1925 after studying dance in Paris and running a dance school at multiple locations in Groningen. The house was created as a dedicated space for his artistic work.
The venue hosts performances during the Eurosonic festival each January and provides a stage for emerging musicians through Popronde Groningen. Visitors experience the local music and dance community that defines the building's character.
The building is located on Vismarkt in central Groningen and is easily reached on foot. Following a fire in the rear section, the structure underwent thorough renovation in 2014.
During renovation work, workers discovered original painted jute panels hidden within the building's interior walls. This finding revealed details about the space's earlier decoration.
