The Lazaruspoortje was made in 1609, probably by the Gouda city sculptor Gregorius Cool, as an entrance gate for the then leper house on the Gouwe in the Dutch city of Gouda. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazaruspoortje

The Lazaruspoortje is over four hundred years old and was built as a ‘renewed’ entrance gate for the leper house. The leper house was an institution where people with leprosy were isolated to prevent further infection. indebuurt.nl/gouda/genieten-van/mysteries/gouds-mysterie-hier-komt-de-naam-lazaruspoortje-vandaan~194920
