This is the lovely town hall. People from all over the Netherlands come here to get married. I can understand why.

We waited for the van to move, but it didn't. Anyway, here are some other nice buildings. The big one is the former corn exchange, the one at the corner is the fish market and in the background you can see the Old Church (Oude Kerk).

We're at the Prinsenhof, the Prince's Court. Prince William of Orange used to live here in the 16th century and he was murdered here by a gunshot

This is Emjay's workplace. Not bad, huh? It's the former orphanage for girls.

... another interesting building. This used to be the powder house, where gunpowder was stored. A big part of the facade is painted white, to keep the powder cool. Otherwise it would explode spontaneous ! Luckily that never happened. In later years it became the Army Museum. Nowadays it is an office complex.

This has something to do with the geographical location of Delft. Maybe it's the meridian?
