Het Swanenburghs Hofje
My twenty-seventh entry to Norms Thursday Doors. Doors with a history. But. This door is no door at all … Sorry! I developed the image (digital processing is also developing. Sort of anyway) made the post and published it. And then realised: this is no door.
It’s a gate. But a very old gate and access to a lot of doors because a ‘Hofje’ is an enclosed living community. Founded in 1692. So for this week I stick to it 🙂 You have to believe me on the hugh amount of doors inside. It is not appreciated to make pictures inside.

A doorway with any sort of door or gate works and remember, some of us have stretched the “rules” even farther than this. It’s lovely.

I love these little arched entrance-ways leading into an interior courtyard. The open gate looks so welcoming. Too bad they frown upon taking photographs.

Somehow it sounds familiar (remember I’m Dutch), but I can’t place the location! My guess is people still live here? love the old look:) Have a great weekend!

It’s a lovely arched entrance and we can just about see where some of those doors are. I love the coat of arms on the top, with the swans. Very nice.
