The new church - one of the main attractions of the city of Delft. This old church, which was founded at the end of the XIV century, officially it is called the Church of St. Ursula, and she called New only because to her the city was already a stone church of St. Bartholomew, who became known as the Old.

A wooden church in honor of the Virgin Mary began to build on the marketplace in 1351, after a beggar Simon had a vision of a beautiful golden church. After years of persuasion, the city council still has consented to the construction, which lasted nearly three centuries. In the XV century church already bears the name of St. Ursula. In terms of the church is a cross, a traditional form of Christian churches. In 1536 the tower was struck by lightning, the building was severely damaged by fire, and a hundred years later, in 1654, the explosion at the powder magazine of the Church was once again suffered significant damage. In 1872, lightning again enters the spire. Tower rebuilt again, and today the New Church tower - the second highest after the tower of the Cathedral of Utrecht, its height with a spire - 109 meters.

The new church is famous for the fact that it is family tomb of the royal family. The first was buried William I of Orange, nicknamed the Silent. He was murdered in Delft in 1584 and is buried here, in New Church, because the traditional tomb of the Prince of Orange in Breda was in the hands of the Spaniards. The last were buried Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard, the grandparents of the current King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander.
