Frans Loenenhofje, Almshouse courtyard in Witte Herenstraat, Haarlem, Netherlands.
The Frans Loenenhofje features ten residential units arranged around a central garden with a pavilion, accessed through a Renaissance entrance gate.
Built in 1607 from merchant Frans Loenen's legacy, the almshouse expanded in 1609 when Jacobus Zaffius added five additional residences for Catholic women.
The entrance gate, designed by architect Lieven de Key in 1625, displays the founder's coat of arms showing a decapitated lion above the passage.
The residence accepts single women over 60 years old who have lived in Haarlem for at least five years and maintains a board of three regents.
The property stands on former monastery grounds that were confiscated from Catholic institutions during the Protestant Reformation in 1581.
