Heilige Geesthofje, Naaldwijk, Historical almshouse complex in Naaldwijk, Netherlands.
The Heilige Geesthofje features twenty identical gable-faced houses arranged symmetrically on both sides of a central chapel with multicolored brick patterns.
Founded in 1496 by Hendrik van Naaldwijk, the complex expanded between 1627 and 1636 under Prince Frederik Hendrik to include fifteen additional residences.
The chapel transformed from a religious space to a synagogue between 1807 and 1920, reflecting the changing social dynamics of Naaldwijk through centuries.
The municipality of Naaldwijk manages the housing complex since 1957, with residences renovated in 1962 through the combination of smaller units.
Original architectural elements remain inside the houses, including spiral staircases and traditional wall cupboards with built-in sleeping quarters.
