Oude Kerk in Delft

The Oude Kerk or Old Church of Delft, is for me, quite simply, one of my favorite monuments because of its stained-glass windows with its many many colors. Outside the church is quite sturdy, it has beenmodified several times since it was built in the thirteenth century. The interior, lit by sunlight, I particularly liked. The windows are new, made by Joep Nicolas, a twentieth century glazier, the church lost its original windows after suffering an explosion in 1654. The church also has several notable graves, including that of Vermeer and other important figures, whose names at the moment I forget.
