Delft history

The city dates from the 13th century. It received its charter in 1246.

The association of the House of Orange with Delft began when William the Silent, or Willem van Oranje as Dutch people usually call him, took up residence there in 1572. William was the leader at the time in the struggle against the Spanish, the Eighty Years' War.

Delft was one of the leading cities of Holland and was equipped with the necessary city walls to serve as a headquarters. When William was shot to death in 1584 by Balthazar Gerards in the hall of the Prinsenhof, the family's traditional burial place in Breda was in the hands of the Spanish. He was buried in the Nieuwe Kerk, starting a tradition for the House of Orange that has continued to the present day.
