The Karthuizer monastery used to be located outside of the city for a long time. Catholic eremites lived here in complete solitary confinement. After the destruction of the monastery in the 16th century a part of the complex became a lodge or rather a beer garden. At the south end a courtyard with housing called widows courtyard. Weduwenhofje was developed by Daniel Stalpaert (numbers. 89-157).
