Haarlem is the home of several historic "hofjes", closed courtyards, where houses for the poor or elderly were established, mostly paid for by testamentary bequest of a rich member of a prominent family. Hofjes are often small quiet paradises in the middle of the busy city. However, het "Hofje van Oorschot" can only be admired from behind a closed gate, no admittance for outsiders.
