Rozenhofje (Noord-Holland, Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Rozenhofje is a home for the aged at Rozengracht 149, Amsterdam, Holland. It was founded in 1743 by the Amsterdam Collegiants. Since 1770, when Collegiantism in Amsterdam died out, it has been administered by a committee usually consisting of Mennonites. It contains 30 apartments for aged women. The facade was rebuilt in 1890, but the interior court is still in the old picturesque style.
