Museum Gouda recounts the history of this wonderful city. You will see, among other things, unique sixteenth century altarpieces, seventeenth century civic guard group portraits and Gouda pottery, which is famous all over the world. The museum is located in an old hospital, the Catharina Gasthuis. The history of this monumental building stretches all the way back to the fourteenth century, when it was a place of refuge where vagabonds, mendicant monks and fugitive serfs could spend the night. The hospital also had a chapel that was dedicated to St.Catharine of Alexandria, one of the most popular saints of the Middle Ages. The building served as a hospital up until the middle of the twentieth century. Since 1947 it has been home to Museum Gouda and its collection of Gouda treasures.
