Oude Kerk, Delft Old Church

Oude Kerk, Delft Old Church 🏠 Address: 25 Heilige Geestkerkhof, Delft ⏰ Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM This medieval church, built in the 13th century, is full of stories! 😍 👣 It’s within walking distance from the New Church and has witnessed over 700 years of Delft’s history~ The great city fire of 1536🔥 severely damaged the church, and subsequent explosions and collapses only made things worse❄️. This building has endured many disasters but still stands strong! It is also the burial site of one of the Netherlands’ greatest painters—Vermeer🎨. The original model for his famous painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring" was born in this city~ Whether it’s sunny or rainy🌞🌧️, this Gothic architecture exudes a special charm. The old tree beside the church creates a stunning picture together🌳. Up close, the architectural details are truly breathtaking✨. The spire design has a strong visual impact, and every shot you take is a cinematic masterpiece📸.
