6 Architectural Buildings in Delft That You Shouldn't Miss

January 16, 2022 Toi Mattera

Vermeer’s birthplace and a true gem, Delft sits between The Hague and Rotterdam in the country’s southwest. The city’s name comes from the Dutch word for digging, fitting since canals are a highlight here. Others include the 13th-century Old Church, the 15th-century New Church and the Prinsenhof, once home to William of Orange and now a museum. Delft has long been a center for fine ceramics, and traditional hand painting methods can still be witnessed at Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles.

The Oude Kerk (Oude Jan) is another iconic church in the beautiful city of Delft. With its skew tower, and 9000kg church bell, learn how the church bell was repurposed to save the city. The iconic skew tower was built on a part of the gracht (canal) that was filled to specially create space for the building of the tower. Must see and visit in Delft!
