Colophon, accessibility & cookies

Editorial

The texts on this website were written in Dutch by Niek Stikkelorum, author and chairman of the Jean Pesynhof Foundation (Stichting Jean Pesynhof), based on the archive and the written history of the Jean Pesynhof. The English pages are a translation of the Dutch originals; where the two differ, the Dutch text prevails. This site is managed by the Jean Pesynhof Foundation (Chamber of Commerce no. 41165200).

The hofje is at Kloksteeg 21, 2311 SK Leiden, and was founded in 1683 by Jean Pesyn and Maria de Lannoy.

Sister foundation: Stichting Tevelingshof (tevelingshof.nl, in Dutch).

Cookies & privacy

This website sets no cookies and uses no advertising or trackers. To see how much interest there is in the hofje, we count page visits with GoatCounter, an open-source counting service that uses no cookies and stores no personal data. We only see totals: which pages are viewed, which website visitors came from, their country and the type of device. Nothing is stored on your device, which is why no consent is asked for.

The fonts (Cormorant Garamond and Source Serif 4, under the SIL Open Font License) are served from this website itself; no connection is made to Google for them. The links on the walking tour open Google Maps in a new tab; Google’s own terms and cookie policy apply on those Google pages.
