Old Church

Our leaning tower of Delft. An absolutely impressive church, It also plays an important role in Delft’s history, which you can easily explore through the detailed information panels inside. I visited during winter, and if you’re here in November, December, or January, I highly recommend seeing the Luminiscence light show. It’s a truly mesmerising experience like stepping into a fairytale. Just incredible! ✨

The church dates back to the 1200s and you can’t miss its quirky leaning tower, it really tilts. Inside feels peaceful, with colorful stained glass and a sense of old Dutch history, famous for graves of painter Johannes Vermeer and naval hero Piet Hein. When I visited they were renovating Piet's tomb and found out a secret painting behind it so it's a very special occation to come see it. You should visit the Nieuwe Kerk at the central square first because the ticket covers visiting for both churches

A wonderful glimpse into Dutch history and architecture. Both churches are beautiful and peaceful, with impressive interiors and historical significance. Definitely worth visiting while exploring Delft.

This old church is also part of the New Church if you're looking to combine both churches in one tour ticket. This is the original church before the New Church was built which is used as the Dutch Royal Family burial ground. It's worth getting an information sheet from the front desk, especially if you're new to Delft and don't speak Dutch. Highly recommended as it's rich in history.

Oude Kerk (Oude Jan) - a Gothic Protestant church in Delft. Its most recognizable feature is a 75-meter-high brick tower that leans about two meters from the vertical. The church is open to visitors and there is a lot of information about the interior.

This is the best church to visit. The information they gave you is incredible! You can spend hours in the church discovering the whole, long history of this incredible church. Also, look from outside, the church is tilted, really cool. The church is rhe resting place for over 400 super rich people from that time. Don't forget to walk the tower!

Beautiful church that we visited for the Luminiscence show. Incredible history and such an impressive story and show!

An impressive church both in terms of its size and its beauty. It also serves as an important element in Delft's history, an aspect that you can read during your visit as it is presented in depth on the info pannels. I swear it leaves nothing out and you'll also find some well known personalities entombed here! Worth at least an hour of your time.
