A beautiful and somewhat mysterious aerial view of the New Church in Delft Market
- The Nieuwe Kerk in Delft is a church building on the Market Square in the center of this lively university city in South Holland. The Nieuwe Kerk dates from 1496 and has historical ties with the royal family. Prince William of Orange, the Father of the Nation who was gunned down in 1584 by Balthasar Gerards, is the first to be buried there. The church is therefore also well known for the mausoleum of William of Orange. The tower, with its 108.75 meters is the second highest church tower in the Netherlands and the church has 16 stained glass windows.
