The houses were occupied by members of the foundation until 1972. After that, the houses were sold to private individuals. In 1995, the guest house was designated a national monument. To mark the guest house’s centenary in 2003, Rutger Kopland wrote the poem ‘Hof’. The poem was engraved on bluestone and set into the paving near the courtyard complex.
