About the building

Groninger Kerken's Actie Kerkbehoud focuses on the Renaissance tomb of Rudolf Huinga inside the Mariakerk. The monument dates from 1574–1576 and needs conservation because its sandstone is cracked, its iron connections are rusting, and it leans forward.

The project

Carefully dismantle, re-anchor and repair the tomb, study its historic colour, and restore its associated railing.

Sources

This is conservation of a church's historic interior monument, not evidence that the entire building is structurally endangered. No appeal balance or completion date is given; coordinates are inferred locality estimates.
