Hofje Codde en Van Beresteijn, Catholic residential complex in Leidsebuurt, Haarlem, Netherlands.

The current Hofje Codde en Van Beresteijn contains eighteen houses arranged around an inner courtyard with a regent's room and communal recreation space.

The complex emerged from the 1731 merger of two separate hofjes: Codde, founded in 1609 by priest Pieter Jansz Codde, and Beresteyn, established in 1684 by painter Claes van Beresteyn.

The regent's room displays copies of family portraits originally painted by Frans Hals, which were sold to the Louvre to finance building maintenance.

The residence accepts Catholic women over 60 years old, providing each resident with a living space, sleeping area, kitchen, and complete bathroom facilities.

The foundation generated substantial capital through the sale of valuable paintings from the founding families' collections to international museums and collectors.
