The Goudkantoor or Gold Office is built in 1635 and located on Waagstraat near the Grote Markt (Main Square) in the dutch city of Groningen. Originally it was built as an office for the receiver of the province of Groningen when it was called Collectehuis. The text on the building, Date Caesari quae sunt Caesaris (Latin), meaning Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars, refers to the original function. The coat of arms of the city of Groningen is located on the building. The name Goudkantoor goes back to 1814-1887, when the Waarborgbureau voor Goud- en Zilverwerken was located in the building. Gold and silver could get a hallmark so people could prove it was real.
