 | | The New Church, formerly the church of St Ursula (14th century), is the burial place of the princes of Orange. |
 | | It is remarkable for its fine tower and chime of bells, and contains the splendid allegorical monument of William the Silent, executed by Hendrik de Keyser and his son Pieter about 1621, and the tomb of Hugo Grotius, born in Delft in 1583, whose statue, erected in 1886, stands in the market-place outside the church. |
 | | The Old Church, founded in the 11th century, but in its present form dating from 1476, contains the monuments of two famous admirals of the 1.7th century, Martin van Tromp and Piet Hein, as well as the tomb of the naturalist Leeuwenhoek, born at Delft in 1632. |
