The Maria Convent/Orphanage
The former orphanage comprises two square wings which, together with the chapel from 1508, enclose a spacious courtyard, accessible through the gate in the north wing. The Hoorn orphans lived in this protected environment for almost four centuries, from 1574 to 1958. Previously, the Maria Convent was located on this site. The main building was renovated in 1729 retaining the old entrance gate.
