That is the view of Robert Jalink, city historian and honorary member of the Oud-Winschoten Foundation. On the basis of old maps, he considers it very possible that a medieval stone house once stood on that spot. “If the municipality is going to renovate that location, a good soil investigation must therefore be carried out,” he says.
Was there a stone house with a canal house around it near the center of Winschoten in the Middle Ages?
