Proveniershuis, Residential courtyard complex in Haarlem, Netherlands
The Proveniershof features spacious residences arranged around a central courtyard with pathways and a historic water pump at its center.
Originally established as Sint Michielsklooster in 1414, the site transformed into an archer training ground after Protestant forces expelled the nuns in 1578.
Unlike traditional charity-based hofjes, Proveniershof required residents to make substantial payments of 3000 guilders for lifelong accommodation and meals.
The courtyard can be accessed through the monumental entrance at Grote Houtstraat 140 or through a side entrance leading to a historic corridor.
Finnish giant Daniel Cajanus, measuring 2.34 meters tall, resided in the building from 1745 to 1749 when it operated as a men's lodging house.
