Vienhues Organic Market
in Viersen
The Vienhues organic market in Viersen has a wide range of fresh produce – and in pure organic quality. Sustainable, environmentally conscious, ecological – these values should also radiate from the market building. The ecological building material wood was the right choice here and so an organic market in sustainable timber construction was created.
