Zon’s and De Star Hofjes
-
These two delightfulhofjes are close to one another on Prinsengracht. At Zon’s Hofje, a stone plaque depicting Noah’s Ark is a clue that it was built on the site of a clandestine church known by that name. The De Star – officially Van Brienen – Hofje is named after a brewery that stood on this site. Merchant Jan Van Brienen is said to have built it in gratitude for his release from a vault in which he had accidently been locked.
