Hofje van Nieuwkoop, Protected residential courtyard in The Hague, Netherlands.

The Hofje van Nieuwkoop features 62 houses arranged in a rectangular pattern surrounding a central garden with an 18th-century water pump.

Johan de Bruijn van Buijtewech established this residential complex in 1660, commissioning architect Pieter Post to design the houses and Regentenhuis.

This residential complex demonstrates the Dutch tradition of providing housing for elderly residents through a charitable foundation system.

The houses remain active residences today, managed by a foundation that completed extensive renovations between 1970 and 1983.

Unlike other similar residential complexes of its time, this establishment accepted residents regardless of their religious affiliations.
