Lazaruspoortje, Historical gate in Gouda, Netherlands.

The Lazaruspoortje gate features detailed carvings depicting the story of Lazarus and includes figures holding bells and alms bowls.

Built in 1609 as an entrance to a leprosy house, the gate was relocated in 1964 to serve as the entrance to Museum Gouda's garden.

The stone relief on the gate illustrates the Biblical parable of the rich man and poor Lazarus from Luke's Gospel.

Located at Achter de Kerk 14, the gate now functions as the rear entrance to Museum Gouda, opposite Sint Janskerk church.

Inside the passageway, visitors can observe an original facade stone from the 1603 Gouda Tannery and the Sint Elisabeth Hospital.
