  • This is said to be the oldest Hofje in The Netherlands. Hours vary, but If you see one that is open, take a few minutes to step inside the gate and admire the gardens.

  • These traditional areas are worth a look if you can gain access - they are not all open to the public all the time. They are tranquil and pretty - an oasis in the heart of the town

  • This seems to be the oldest hofje in The Netherlands, initially built in 1395. It counted 20 houses, all of them still inhabited.

  • It is a lovely place! Sadly it was not possible to enter any further so we could only see the front
  • Cute courtyard originally from the twelfth century. Enter via one the doors from the alleys. It's very peaceful. Just remember people live there.
  • Beautiful hofje but it is mentioned as the oldest hofje in the Netherlands as it was rebuilt in the 18th century. I don't quite get that.
  • Beautiful, old courtyard in Haarlem. In the background the tower of the Grote or St Bavokerk.
  • Lovingly designed garden idyll; Please make sure when viewing that this is a private area that the residents open to guests.
