Arend Maartenshof, Historic residential courtyard in Dordrecht, Netherlands.
The complex comprises four rows of connected single-story houses with gabled roofs, featuring a central garden space with tall trees.
Built in 1625 by Arend Maartenszoon, the hofje provided 38 homes for impoverished women and widows of soldiers who died serving their country.
The regents' room contains fourteen portraits from the 17th century, a painted ceiling, and artwork by Arnold Houbraken depicting charitable deeds.
Located at Museumstraat 56, next to Dordrechts Museum, the courtyard remains open to visitors during daytime hours for exploration.
The Renaissance entrance gate displays inscriptions 'Naeckt kom ick, naeckt scheyde ick' and 'Vita Vapor', reflecting on the temporal nature of life.
