Courtyard Zevenkeurvorstenhofje (The Seven Electors) was built about 1645, and rebuilt in 1775.

The court began as Pronck's courtyard, in an unknown year, and named after owner Cornelis Martensz Pronck. In 1645 Pronck's son gave the court to a Roman Catholic institution. In 1763 the city chronicler Wagenaar named the inner court Zevenkeurvorstenhofje (courtyard of the Seven Electors). That name lasted better and still applies today. In 1775 a whole wing with cottages was replaced by a new wing, with 19 dwellings which housed 32 women in 1850, and a gateway to the Tuinstraat. In 1862, after the emancipation of Catholics, a chapel was built with a façade on the Tuinstraat. The former chapel became regent room.
