Meisjeshuis, Delft, Historical orphanage building on Oude Delft, Netherlands
The building features a sandstone base with arched cellar windows and two carved stone female figures flanking the entrance doors from 1769.
The Meisjeshuis functioned as a girls' orphanage until the 1950s, originally established through a donation by Willem Nagel in 1390.
The regents' panels inside the building document the names and service dates of administrators who managed this institution across centuries.
Following renovation in 2005, the building now houses the Heritage House of South Holland and the Meisjeshuis Society.
The entrance displays intricate rococo decorations and carved doors with an ornamental top piece created by sculptor S.J. Cressant.
