"Hier is ’t huis van Sinte-Jozef" is a well-known and historic building in Ghent, located on the Sint-Jacobsnieuwstraat. The house is dedicated to Saint Joseph, the patron saint of workers and families, and is an important religious and cultural monument in the city.

The house has a rich history and originally served as a kind of shelter for people in need, often with a focus on families and children. The building itself is recognizable by its characteristic facade and the unique architecture that is typical for the region.

Over the years, the house has had various functions and has been involved in various social initiatives. Nowadays, it is sometimes used for events, exhibitions and activities that support the community.

The house of Saint Joseph also reflects the broader history of Ghent as a city with a rich tradition of care and social involvement.
