    Originally part of a larger orphanage complex founded in 1551. The complex was replaced in 1906 by the current orphanage. In the same year, the Renaissance facade of the girls' dormitory was rebuilt approximately 10 meters to the rear. The wrought iron garden gate dates back to the 18th century. It bears the monogram O.A.W. (Old Poor Orphanage)
