Парки и сады в Лейдене

Leiden's Gardens and Hofjes

Leiden’s green landscape is defined by its historic hofjes—enclosed almshouse courtyards dating back to the 13th century—and the Hortus Botanicus, established in 1590. This collection highlights the city's horticultural heritage, from the scientific collections of the National Herbarium to the expansive Polderpark Cronesteyn. The list includes architectural landmarks like the Jean Pesijnhofje, founded on the site where the Pilgrim Fathers lived, and modern recreational spaces such as Park Matilo, which sits atop a former Roman fort and UNESCO World Heritage site.
