Aa-Kerk
The Aa-Kerk is Groningen's second major medieval church, named after the Aa river that once ran nearby, with a history stretching back further than its current Gothic form, which dates largely from the 13th to 15th centuries. It's quieter and less visited than the Martinitoren and its surrounding square, giving a calmer look at the city's medieval religious architecture.
The interior holds notable tomb monuments and a well-preserved organ, and the church occasionally hosts concerts, making it worth checking for events if music is of interest alongside the architecture itself.
