Aduardergasthuis, Historical almshouse in Munnekeholm, Groningen, Netherlands.

The Aduardergasthuis is a historical almshouse at Munnekeholm in Groningen with a wide footprint and gabled roof topped with Flemish ornamentation. Two framed doorways and barred windows are visible features that characterize its structure.

An abbot from Aduard Monastery founded this almshouse in 1613 to shelter eight elderly women, converting an existing building for this purpose. The structure underwent reconstruction in 1775 by a skilled carpenter who updated its design.

The building displays rococo design features that shape the character of the street where it stands.

The building is not open to the public as it functions as student housing, though you can view its exterior from the street. The location is easily accessible in the city center.

A ceramic tile bearing the coat of arms from Clairvaux Abbey, manufactured in Antwerp, recalls the building's connection to a former monastic past. This remarkable piece dates to the 16th century and marks the transition between its former and current purpose.
