The Karthuizerhofje is a courtyard which is officially called Weduwenhofe Sitting Huys. This was built in 1650 on the site of a former convent. The building was commissioned by the Huiszittenmeesters, prominent merchants who supported poor, independently living people with peat, food and sometimes accommodation. In the courtyard, above the entrance, we see the Amsterdam cog, the largest commercial vehicle of the Middle Ages.
