The antique map titled ‘Groninga Dominivm’ was created in 1665 and depicts the region of Groningen in the Netherlands. Groninga Dominivm translates to ‘Domain of Groningen’ in English. The map shows the central locations of Appingedam, Uithuizen, and Groningen, but does not provide detailed information about specific landmarks or features in those areas. The Netherlands in the early 17th century was a prosperous trading nation, with a strong maritime presence and a focus on the production of goods such as textiles and ceramics. The country was bordered by Germany to the east, with a long history of political and economic relations between the two countries.
