About Maria van Pallaes
Mayken Lubbert van Pallaesdr., commonly known as Maria van Pallaes, was a Dutch philanthropist who established the Maria van Pallaes houses in the city of Utrecht. They consist of 12 almshouses and a refectory, together with a hofje or courtyard garden, to be used by the city's poor. After her death, the buildings were placed under the control of the Maria van Pallaes Foundation and another 28 almshouses were later built using her inheritance. The original 12 houses and refectory are now owned by the Utrecht Monument Foundation and are a Dutch national heritage site.
