Hof van Wouw, Residential almshouse complex in central The Hague, Netherlands.

The Hof van Wouw consists of seventeen individual houses arranged around a central courtyard, including residences for a trustee and administrator.

Cornelia van Wouw, daughter of a prominent Hague family, established this housing foundation in 1647 to provide accommodations for single women.

The selection process for residents continues to follow the specific guidelines established in the original testament of Cornelia van Wouw from the 17th century.

Visitors can access the complex during scheduled open days or through guided tours, with the entrance located at Brouwersgracht 30.

The Garden Room within the complex serves as a venue for various gatherings and can be reserved for weddings, meetings, and private celebrations.
