Stock Photo: Cardinal's House, Groningen, Holland
ID 53718181 © 2circles | Megapixl.com
Beside the Province House in the city of Groningen on the north side is the caretaker’s house. The front of this house was built of stones from the Cardinal’s house of 1559. This house stood in the Oude Kijk in ’t Jatstraat and was demolished in 1893. The Cardinal’s House was never lived in by a cardinal, but by Mr Cardinaal, a stockbroker. In 1927 the government archivist, Jonkheer J.A. Feith, arranged to have the ‘Cardinal’s House’ entirely rebuilt. In the façade there are three portrait medallions. They are representations of Alexander the Great, Charlemagne and King David.
