Gabbemagasthuis, Historic almshouse in Leeuwarden, Netherlands.
The Gabbema Gasthuis features a U-shaped design with Art Nouveau elements, orange-red bricks, and a roof decorated with red and green glazed tiles.
Founded in 1634 by Abbe Freerks Gabbema, the almshouse was rebuilt in 1906 following the designs of architect Willem Cornelis de Groot.
The entrance displays a polychrome tile tableau with an eagle holding a rabbit, representing the Dutch tradition of charitable housing for elderly residents.
The building, located at Wijbrand De Geeststraat 42 in Leeuwarden, maintains its status as a national heritage site under Rijksmonument protection.
Inside the building, visitors find Art Deco tiled decorations and a preserved clock from 1762 crafted by P. Seest with a 32-centimeter diameter.
