Aduardergasthuis, Historical almshouse in Munnekeholm, Groningen, Netherlands.

The Aduardergasthuis features a broad structure with a gabled roof and Flemish top, containing two framed entrances and window bars at Munnekeholm 3.

Willem Emmen, the last abbot of Aduard Monastery, established this almshouse in 1613 for eight elderly women, transforming the former Blue House refuge.

The building incorporates both classical and rococo elements from its 1775 reconstruction, designed by master carpenter G. Bondsema with inscribed regent names.

The structure now serves as student housing managed by the Groningen Student Housing Foundation, which purchased the property in June 1986.

A majolica tile displaying the Clairvaux Abbey coat of arms, manufactured in Antwerp in 1547, commemorates the restoration of this former monastery refuge.
