Veenkoloniaal Museum Veendam ( Amsterdam Peat Museum) is one of the most surprising museums in the province of Groningen. In the 17th century investors from Amsterdam invested their money in the enormous Bourtanger Moor. Peat (turf/veen) was brought by small vessels to city's like Amsterdam and Gouda.The museum not only tells about peatdigging, but also about the Golden Age of this region, the 19th century! The age when 60% of the Dutch fleet was located in little towns like Veendam, Wildervank and Pekela. They traded f.e.with the town of Riga. It also the century of Anthony Winkler Prins who wrote his encyclopaedia in Veendam and century of William Albert Scholten, the first multinational in the Netherlands. Succesfull in trading in potato starch, straw- and cardboard. Besides the (permanent) story of the region, the museum organizes interesting art and historical exhibitions.

The first station building was completed in 1865 and demolished in 1894. The second and current station building was designed by Izaak Gosschalk, completed in 1896, and most recently restored in 2000. Train services started in 1866 and are currently provided by Nederlandse Spoorwegen and Arriva. There are 41 bus services at the station provided by Qbuzz. Since 1961 my parents moved with me from Schiedam to Eelde, a nearby village, so in those days we used the train to visit grandparents near Amersfoort often. In those years the beautiful ceiling in the entrance hall was hidden by a low white simple and cheap one. In the early nineties I guess there was a huge restoration project of the railwaystation. All of this old beauty was revealed again and since then it is a must see in the town Groningen stop ,whenever I have visitors from other places to show them around.

Reviewed By Robert937 - Rotterdam, The Netherlands
This 13th century church used to be an abbeychurch. The Benedictine abbey was abolished in 1485 and ever since the church served the local Christian community. The rectangular building in Romano-Gothic style underwent thorough restoration in 1565. The small tower (dakruiter) was added in 1810 as the earlier free standing tower had been demolished. Remarkable is that while new houses have been built in the direct vicinity of the church a respectful gate-like opening was reserved in order to ensure access to the medieval church.
