Former Hospital of the Holy Cross, now the City Meeting Center. Built in 1890 by the Daughters of the Holy Cross, who had bought a number of houses here; it was originally an elder's home. It consists of two parts: the broad house on the Kloosterstraat, and a detached building with chapel behind this part, on the current Vaesstraat.
