The Province of Groningen
The Martinitoren, with the Martinikerk (Martin's church), named after Saint Martin of Tours (316–397), the patron saint of the Bishopric of Utrecht to which Groningen first belonged. The church was a cathedral for a short period during the first bishopric of Groningen (1559–1594). The 97 metre tower was built from 1469 till 1482, with later additions. Citizens of Groningen often refer to the tower as d'Olle Grieze (Old Grey One).
