The Hofje van Mevrouw van Aerden is a museum and former hofje in Leerdam, Netherlands, on the Kerkstraat (numbers 57 and 89). It was built during the years 1770-1772 on the former location of the "Kasteel van Leerdam", a castle that was destroyed by the Spanish in 1574. The hofje was founded by Maria Ponderus, the daughter of a surgeon who at 20 married the 50-year-old widower Pieter van Aerden, notary in The Hague. She lived to 92, surviving her husband and three children, who also had no issue. She decided to leave her fortune to a hofje for women of the Protestant faith. Though she had intended her hofje for the poor of The Hague, by the time she died the most of her poor relations were living in Leerdam. Through connections with the House of Orange, the site of the old castle of Leerda

- Het Hofje van Mevrouw Van Aerden is een hofje en museum in de Utrechtse stad Leerdam. Het hofje is gebouwd in 1770 naar aanleiding van het testament van de in 1764 op 92-jarige leeftijd overleden Maria Ponderus, weduwe van Pieter van Aerden. Nog altijd biedt het huisvesting aan ongehuwde, protestantse dames. In de regentenkamer hangen diverse schilderijen uit de nalatenschap van Maria Ponderus. Maria Ponderus had in haar testament bepaald dat het hofje gesticht moest worden, omdat haar drie kinderen kinderloos gestorven waren, en zij hen alle drie overleefd had. Hoewel zij zelf altijd in Den Haag gewoond had, is het hofje in Leerdam gesticht, omdat een belangrijke tak van de van Aerdens in Leerdam en omgeving woonde, en deze tak minder welvarend was dan de Haagse tak. Een andere reden was dat de Oranjes de grond waarop het kasteel van Leerdam gestaan had ter beschikking stelden. (nl)
