About Selwerd
Where to stay in Selwerd
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Selwerd offers little in the way of hotels, and the register that describes it names a castle site, a monastery site and a sports centre rather than anything that lets rooms. Klooster Selwerd names the older ground. The Willem Alexander Sportcentrum brings most short visits out this way, and the Stadskerk stands on the same list. Groningen holds the beds.
About Selwerd
What are the main landmarks in Selwerd?
A short register covers Selwerd. Kasteel Selwerd and Klooster Selwerd head it, two names taken from a castle and a monastery, and beside them the terrain of the former Benedictine nunnery of Maria Virgo is protected as well. The Stadskerk is the church entry.
A former police post, a dwelling in a mixed building style and a pair of unnamed gravestones fill out the list, with the Willem Alexander Sportcentrum the newest thing on it.
What is the history of Selwerd?
Two institutions gave Selwerd its name. Kasteel Selwerd and Klooster Selwerd both took the same ground, and the protected terrain of the former Benedictine nunnery of Maria Virgo belongs to the same early layer of the record. Everything else is later.
The Stadskerk, a former police post and a dwelling in a mixed building style are what the modern district registers, with the Willem Alexander Sportcentrum added to them.
Where is Selwerd?
Selwerd sits inside Groningen, on ground the Kasteel Selwerd and Klooster Selwerd entries share with the Willem Alexander Sportcentrum.
