Hofje van Pauw, Historic residential community in Delft, Netherlands.

The Hofje van Pauw consists of eight houses arranged in two rows of four, forming a symmetrical layout around a central courtyard.

Elisabeth Pauw, daughter of Delft's former mayor Jacob Pauw, established this residential complex in 1707 through provisions in her last testament.

This residential foundation represents the Dutch tradition of social housing complexes, known as hofjes, which provided accommodation for people in need.

Located at Paardenmarkt 54-62, the residence currently houses individuals with intellectual disabilities under the management of Ipse de Bruggen organization.

The complex underwent a complete courtyard redesign in 2007 after the discovery of soil contamination, leading to a renovation of the outdoor space.
