____________________________________________________________________

According to Roelof, whom I thank for this nice card sent inside Cover #94, Norg is a small village in the North of the Netherlands, and although rural it lies close to some large cities, like Groningen, for instance.

According to Wikipedia, there are six communal pastures in Norg around which the city developed itself. A bit of searching over the internet and I was able to  identify most of the buildings on the postcard photos that encircle the central self-explanatory image of  cows and pastures. 

As such, right to left, we have the Noordenveld mill of the smock mill type, built in 1878. In modern times, this particular mill was subject to restoration works in 1990/91 and since then it has been grinding flour - mainly rye - for a local bakery. The mill can be visited on Saturdays.

St. Margareta Church, of the Dutch reformed Church. It dates back to the XIII century.

Typical thatched roof houses on a street.

A local restaurant ?
