Guided Church Tours Delft
Visit the famous churches van Delft with our guide and discover a lot of secrets.
In the New Church (Nieuwe Kerk) it is almost all about Willem of Orange.
If you wish we invite ”William of Orange” also called ”the Silent” to speak one more time.
William of Orange is also known as the ‘Father of the Fatherland’. His connection to Delft and the New Church happened purely by chance. When he was murdered in his own house, the Prinsenhof in Delft, there was no way to get his body to his family plot in Breda.
The beautiful stained glass windows of the Old Church add to its distinctive look and feel. When sunbeams fall on these ‘window stories’, they create a spectacle of light, angles and colours.
There is a range of beautiful gravestones and memorials in the Old Church. Think of Johannes Vermeer, Piet Hein, Maarten Tromp, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.
