Weeshuis, Historic orphanage and Rijksmonument in Gouda, Netherlands.
The rectangular structure features higher corner pavilions, natural stone portal frames, and a fronton adorned with festoon ornaments at its entrance.
Built between 1779 and 1782, the Weeshuis served as a sanctuary for children without families during a period of social transformation in Dutch society.
The Regentenkamer displays original gold leather wallpaper, a fireplace with stucco decoration, and an 18th-century stucco ceiling representing Dutch craftsmanship.
Located at the geographical coordinates of 52.010531 and 4.713342, the building now functions as part of the Municipal Administration Office.
Two statues, depicting an orphan boy and girl, stand at the central portion of the building, marking its historical purpose as a children's home.
