From Government House to Hospital
The Prinsenhof was built between 1681 and 1700, presumably designed by the Liège architect Bertholet. Originally, it served as the Government House for the Stadtholder of the Upper Quarter of Gelderland. In 1741, it was repurposed when Canon Goswinus de Bors established the General Hospital here, offering care to the poor, orphans and the elderly.
Historical elegance in every detail
The Regent’s Room is the beating heart of this monument. Oak staircases, marble fireplaces and paintings from the 16th to 18th centuries come together in an atmosphere that still breathes history. Once the boardroom of the hospital, it still radiates the dignity of the past.
