You're standing on the Herenstraat in Culemborg, at the Elisabeth Weeshuis, the Elisabeth Orphanage. This building has a special place in history. It was the first orphanage in the Netherlands built specifically as an orphanage. Before that, orphans were housed in existing buildings, such as monasteries or ordinary homes.
