Maagdenhuis
The chapel and entrance gateway of the Maagdenhuis (Maidens' House), a foundling hospital for girls of the poor, was constructed from 1564 to 1568 and closed in 1882, when more modern institutions became available. Normally it houses a museum that reflects its former role, but for the next several years (until at least 2027), the building has has a new temporary role—it's being used to exhibit 60 or so paintings on loan from the nearby Museum Mayer van den Bergh, while that gallery undergoes its own essential restoration and renovation work.
