Hiëronymushuis

The Hiëronymushuis features a central square tower with two lower wings, displaying pointed arches and brick-made round arch friezes along its facade.

Built in 1874 by architect Wilhelm Victor Alfred Tepe, this structure initially served as an orphanage and retirement home for the Roman Catholic Parish Poor Board.

The building incorporates Gothic architectural elements throughout its design, including a chapel with cross-rib vaults and glass-in-lead windows on the first floor.

Following extensive renovations in 2007, the building now contains 23 apartments in the main structure and chapel, with additional family homes in the garden area.

The central stairwell extends through the tower to upper levels, while the garden preserves old trees and a historical Marian grotto.
