Hofje van Bakenes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hofje van Bakenes or Bakenesserkamer is a hofje in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
It was built in 1395 from a legacy of Dirck van Bakenes (or Dirc van Bakenesse). It is the oldest hofje in Haarlem.
Initially the hofje consisted of 13 houses, in which 20 women lived. One of the building was turned into a Board room (Regentenkamer) in 1663. There was place for 12 women then.
The hofje has two entrances, at the Bakenessergracht and one at the Wijde Appelaarsteeg.
Address: Wijde Appelaarsteeg 11
