Heilige Geesthofje, Charitable almshouse in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Heilige Geesthofje features four residential wings arranged around a central courtyard, with a gatehouse containing a regents' meeting room.
Established in 1616 as the first almshouse in The Hague, the complex received its current gatehouse structure during an expansion in 1647.
The building maintains its original function as a residential complex for elderly individuals, continuing a centuries-old Dutch tradition of community care.
Located at Paviljoensgracht 51-125 in The Hague, this Rijksmonument designated structure maintains multiple residential units for senior citizens.
The courtyard contains a Juttepeer tree planted in 1638, recognized as the oldest cultivated pear tree in the Netherlands, which still produces fruit.
