Teylers Hofje, Historic residential courtyard on Koudenhorn Street, Haarlem, Netherlands.

The complex consists of a central garden surrounded by four wings containing twenty-four individual residences connected by covered walkways.

Silk merchant Pieter Teyler van der Hulst established this residential complex in 1787 on the site of a former brewery called Het Gekroonde Hoefijzer.

The neoclassical entrance features Doric columns and leads to a regents' room decorated with oak panels, displaying the architectural preferences of wealthy 18th-century merchants.

Visitors can access the courtyard Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00, entering through the main gate at Koudenhorn 64.

The complex includes two sundials in the garden and provides housing for elderly women regardless of their religious denomination, which was uncommon in 18th-century Netherlands.
