Hofje van Almonde, Municipal monument and architectural structure in Delft, Netherlands.

The Hofje van Almonde consists of seven houses arranged around a courtyard, separated from the street by a perimeter wall.

The housing foundation was established in 1607 through the testament of Magdalena van Almonde, daughter of Jan van Almonde who owned castle Altena.

The houses were created to provide accommodation for single women of modest means who lived with humility and chose not to marry.

The residential complex can be accessed through a gate in the northeast corner of the Delftse Bagijnhof, where visitors observe the architecture.

In 2007, commemorative stones displaying the Van der Goes and d'Oultremont family coats of arms were installed beside the entrance gate.
