Amstelhof, Museum in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands

The Amstelhof spans 102 meters along the Amstel River, featuring a symmetrical design with a central courtyard and surrounding residential wings.

Built in 1682 through a merchant's inheritance of 90,000 guilders, the building served as a retirement home for Amsterdam's elderly women for over 300 years.

The structure transformed from a retirement facility into the H'ART Museum in 2009, following extensive renovations costing 40 million euros.

The museum building maintains partnerships with international institutions including the Smithsonian and British Museum for rotating exhibitions.

The facility restricted male residents until 1817, requiring female applicants to be at least 50 years old and Amsterdam residents for 15 years.
