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

The Lazarus gate dates from 1609. It was the entrance gate of a shelter for lepers founded in 1579 in a women's monastery elsewhere in the city. From 1853 to 1940, a gas factory was located in the monastery, which was partly demolished. The gate was retained and placed in 1965 as a gateway to the garden and terrace of the Museum Café. The name of the gate refers to the patron saint of Lepers.
