Groningen University

From Oude Boteringestraat, Broerstraat leads to Academieplein, with the Academiegebouw, the administrative offices of Groningen University. Founded in 1614, the present building, in neo-Renaissance style, was erected in 1907-09 after a fire in 1906 which destroyed the old University building. On the facade are various allegorical figures.

Opposite the Academiegebouw is the University Library (1985).
