    In the late 1800s, a need arose for facilities for elderly settlers. In 1893 the first retirement homes in the Netherlands were built in Wilhelminaoord. Thanks to the gifts of Queen Emma, former Major of the Cavalry, F.H.L. van Swieten and philanthropist P.W. Janssen, the construction could be realized. In 1895 the rest home was expanded from five to eight houses. Settlers who became too old to work could spend their old age in the rest home. These homes were intended for couples.
