Project: Onwards towards the Past
Verhildersum Estate seeks to enhance the experience of the Borg’s and estate’s storylines. The estate tells the story of the aristocracy, farmers and workers in the 19th century. Our goal is to attract new target groups, such as families with young children and young adults. We’re developing new packages, interactive story maps and a 3D film through which everyone can truly experience the estate’s history.
We’re also improving accessibility, so visitors with reduced mobility can enjoy this authentic piece of Groningen cultural heritage as well. Paths have been widened, bridges renovated and made more accessible, and the accessibility from the waterfront has been improved: a new jetty has been constructed for canoes, rowing boats and other recreational craft.
The project has been made possible through the kind support of:
Verhildersum Estate is also receives structural financial support from the Province of Groningen and municipality Het Hogeland. These funds contribute to the preservation and further development of the Borg and its buildings and grounds.
