Visit the Old and New Churches in Delft with a single ticket. These two iconic churches together tell the story of the Netherlands - from medieval devotion to royal grandeur.
The New Church (completed in 1655) serves as the final resting place of the Dutch Royal Family. Since William of Orange was interred here in 1584, members of the House of Orange have been laid to rest within its walls. The magnificent mausoleum of the 'Father of the Fatherland' draws thousands of visitors each year. But there's more to discover: the monumental organ fills the space with its rich tones, and modern stained-glass windows cast colorful light across ancient stones.
The Old Church tells a different story. Standing in the heart of Delft since 1246, it features a tower that leans two meters off-center - the famous 'Leaning John'. Here lies Johannes Vermeer, the master of Delft light, alongside other luminaries including Piet Hein and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. The medieval atmosphere, historic tomb monuments, and remarkable stained-glass windows make every visit a journey through time.
Two churches, two stories, one city. Discover them both and experience seven centuries of Dutch history.
