The Souterrain is more than just an event space, it is a space with a story. The building in which The Souterrain is located was built in 1634 and originally served as a guardhouse for soldiers and city guards who guarded the northern border of Groningen.




This historical past is still tangible and visible in the space. A part of the old city wall is still visible and this forms an impressive decor. These historical elements, combined with a modern and stylish interior, give The Souterrain a unique atmosphere that you will not find anywhere else.


It is the ideal place to come together and let time stand still. Here, past and present merge, and every moment becomes an experience to cherish.
