St. Barbara Gasthuis, Historical gate in Jansstraat, Haarlem, Netherlands
The remaining gateway at Jansstraat 54 features natural stone decorations and a sculpted keystone from 1624, marking the former entrance to St. Barbara Gasthuis.
Founded in 1435 through Hugo van Assendelft's legacy, the St. Barbara Gasthuis operated as a hospital and almshouse until its demolition in 1845.
The stone relief above the entrance reflects the building's purpose as a women's hospital, representing the Dutch tradition of providing social care.
Located at coordinates 52.38217, 4.6378, the monument stands on the western side of Jansstraat among other historical structures in central Haarlem.
The gateway, designed by architect Lieven de Key, contains a chronogram with Roman numerals that add up to reveal the year 1435.
