The Paul Tétar van Elven museum is located in the home of the 19th century painter and passionate collector of art and antiques.

The Gemeenlandshuis from the early 1500s is the oldest house in Delft. As you will see, the owner must have been quite wealthy. He owed his fortune to the large beer production in the city. The decorations on the building still refer to this. People used to drink beer like water, because the water was too polluted to drink. Jan de Huyter was a tenant of hops and thus amassed a fortune. With that he was able to build this gigantic house. The hop cones on the house are a reminder of this. Furthermore, the Gothic house was given a high stepped gable that was intended as a lookout tower, an absolute status symbol for De Huyter.
The Prinsenhof Museum is a historically important place for the Netherlands. On this spot, William of Orange was shot dead by the Frenchman Balthasar Gerards on 10 July 1584. The former Sint Agatha monastery is among the Top 100 of the National Service for the Preservation of Monuments from 1990. The museum highlights Delft Blue, great Delft scientists such as Hugo de Groot and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, and Delft masters such as William of Orange and the House of Orange-Nassau. The museum has a collection of paintings, pottery and utensils from the Golden Age.
