The Nieuwe Kerk in Delft is one of the Netherlands' most significant Gothic landmarks, constructed between 1393 and 1655. Its 109-meter tower is the second tallest church tower in the country after Utrecht's Dom Tower. The church houses the royal mausoleum of the House of Orange-Nassau, where William the Silent was entombed in 1584, and has since served as the burial place for the Dutch royal family. Visitors can climb 376 steps for panoramic views reaching Rotterdam and The Hague on clear days.
