G-Nius Anniversary gathering

Last Thursday, the G-Nius anniversary gathering finally took place! In honor of our 20th anniversary, we invited our contacts for a boat tour on the Binnendieze and a pleasant gathering to catch up after a long time. With beautiful weather, we enjoyed a journey through and especially under the city. This evening was a great opportunity to learn about the history of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the birthplace of G-Nius.

Boat tour on the Binnendieze

The Binnendieze is an ancient system of waterways within the walls of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. These narrow waterways used to flow behind the houses and were used to transport goods by ship. Additionally, it served as drinking water for the citizens of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, but the stream was also used as a sewer.

During the boat tour on the Binnendieze, the skipper shared fascinating stories with us about the history of the city and the restoration efforts. He showed us why the current form of the city, the layout of the streets, and the narrow houses that border the water at the back are so unique.

Gathering at Brasserie Bolwerk

After the boat tour, we concluded the evening at Brasserie Bolwerk. This brasserie is located in a unique location in the city center. Bolwerk Sint-Jan was built in 1528 to defend one of the main gateways. It was demolished at the end of the 18th century.

The brasserie is now situated within the city walls. The remnants of the last two gates, the city wall, a bulwark, and medieval street pavement are still clearly visible in the new building. From the sunny terrace, we enjoyed drinks and snacks.

We look back on a wonderful evening. We are delighted to have been able to speak and see everyone in person again. On behalf of the entire team, we thank everyone for their presence, the good company, and a beautiful evening!
