Deutzen Hofje, Residential courtyard from 1695 at Prinsengracht, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Deutzen Hofje features three double canal mansions with a central gate at street level for pensioners to access the inner courtyard.
Agneta Deutz commissioned this residential complex in 1692 using her inheritance to provide housing for elderly servants and impoverished relatives.
The gablestone displays an inscription from 1695 that emphasizes the importance of supporting those in need and setting an example for wealthy citizens.
The foundation currently provides housing for women over 55 years old, with 31 residential units available within the complex.
The regent's room on the top floor contains a portrait of founder Agneta Deutz and offers views across the Amsterdam canal.
