Typografengasthuis, Historical almshouse complex in Groningen, Netherlands.

The Typografengasthuis contains 47 courtyard houses arranged in a rectangular shape measuring 85 by 17 meters, with six houses connected by an archway along the road.

The Groninger Boekverkoopers College established this housing complex in 1903 as an investment project to provide residences for printing industry apprentices and members.

The central entrance features a relief depicting an open book with inscriptions, crowned by a lion holding a shield, reflecting the printing industry heritage.

Located at Petrus Campersingel 37-117, the residential complex maintains its original function with private owners managing their individual units through a foundation.

A poem titled 'Hof' by Rutger Kopland, created for the building's centenary in 2003, remains inscribed in hardstone within the courtyard pavement.
