    Old Orphanage (1616)

    Westerstraat 109, Enkhuizen.

    National monument 15146

    Originally part of a larger orphanage complex, founded in 1551.

    The complex made way for the current orphanage in 1906. In the same year, the Renaissance facade of the girls' dormitory was rebuilt about ten meters back.
