Bartholomeïgasthuis, Medieval almshouse in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The Bartholomeïgasthuis features three distinct wings with a central facade displaying a 1623 coat of arms and inscription at Lange Smeestraat 40.

Founded in 1367 as a shelter for beggars and pilgrims, the building received substantial support from Willem, Lord of Abcoude, who transformed it into St. Bartholomeus Gasthuis in 1378.

The Regentenzaal, constructed in 1632, houses four commissioned gobelins from 1642 that represent significant elements of Dutch decorative arts.

The structure maintains its original function as a nursing and care facility while preserving historical elements that are open to visitors during specified hours.

The building contains a clock mechanism crafted by Steven Butendycke in 1471, which continues to ring every day at noon in Utrecht.
