Proveniershuis, Schiedam, Gate building and hofje in Schiedam, Netherlands
The Proveniershuis features ornate brick architecture with a prominent facade designed by sculptor Joseph Bollina between 1756 and 1761.
The building replaced a former leper house and functioned as a residential facility for elderly individuals who paid for lifelong accommodation and care.
This Dutch national monument represents the historical social welfare system where residents, called proveniers, purchased lifetime care and housing.
The structure, located along Schiedamse Schie canal at Overschiesestraat 1-3, underwent restoration and now serves residential purposes under Hendrick de Keyser association.
The building reached its peak occupancy in 1770 with 58 proveniers, before transforming into a poorhouse in 1846 under municipal administration.
