The orphanage

Another imposing new building was the "Diaconie orphanage", constructed in 1656 by the protestant church. The plague epidemic of 1654-55 had turned many children to orphanhood. 

A 3D scholarly edition focussing on the 3D reconstruction of the orphanage has been published seperately, to see it click here.
