Hofje Armen de Poth

An oasis of tranquillity

You are a guest here and, above all, enjoy this oasis of calm. The current 48 cottages are all inhabited except for one that serves as a 'show house' and sheds. The square of houses surrounds the medieval St Roch Chapel and the Main Building with the Cell Sisters' Room, Bakery, Distribution Room, Regent's Room and the Inner Father's dwelling. At each of the three gates giving access to the complex, you will find a map or pavement markers directing you to the website or app for a digital tour.

Guided tours
If you want to know more and also see parts of the complex from the inside, we advise you to contact one of the two guide organisations(Amersfoortse Gidsen and Gilde Amersfoort) with whom arrangements have been made and are kept informed by us about new developments in the hofje. With a guide, you will also visit the Rochuskapel, the Toonhuisje and enjoy coffee or tea in the Celzusterenkamer, the oldest part of the Main Building.

Digital viewing
Of course, only an actual visit will give you a taste of the special atmosphere in this historic yet contemporary national monument. But you can also get a good impression and information from the comfort of your chair. Allow the short, four-minute film trailer to sink in.
