Nederlandsch Gasthuis voor Ooglijders te Utrecht, Eye hospital in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The brick building at F.C. Dondersstraat displays neo-renaissance architecture with ornamental elements and a 1938 extension in modernist style.

The hospital opened its doors on November 6, 1858, with forty beds, accepting two orphans from Enkhuizen as its first patients.

Professor Franciscus Cornelis Donders introduced the ophthalmoscope to the Netherlands and established this institution for eye care research and treatment.

The building received Rijksmonument status on May 22, 2001, preserving its architectural features and historical medical significance for future generations.

Between 1858 and 1989, the hospital functioned both as a charitable institution and research center, requiring annual subsidies and donations for operations.
