Hofje van Gratie, Residential almshouse in Delft, Netherlands
The structure contains seven small houses under one continuous gabled roof, with each residence having a separate entrance facing Van der Mastenstraat.
Founded in 1571 by Mayor Pieter Sasbout, the almshouse relocated to its current location in 1660 following the Delft gunpowder explosion of 1654.
The residences were specifically designed for elderly couples over 50 without children, reflecting social welfare practices in Dutch society.
Each house includes a living room with a fireplace, while a shared gallery at the back contains kitchen facilities and washing areas.
The central house displays preserved family coats of arms representing the historical governance of this protected national monument.
