• Museum Paul Tetar van Elven - The Paul Tétar van Elven Museum is situated in the residence of the 19th-century artist and avid collector of art and antiques. In his will, he requested that his home and its contents be transformed into a museum after his passing. This has preserved a unique 19th-century artist’s ensemble in the country. The largely original interior still reflects the taste of the resident and his era. Upon entering the charming, richly decorated salon, one might expect the painter or his wife to personally greet them!
• Gemeenlandshuis van Delfland - The Gemeenlandshuis, dating back to the early 1500s, is the oldest house in Delft. Evidently, the owner was quite affluent, thanks to the city’s extensive beer production. The building’s decorations still allude to this history.

In the past, beer was consumed like water due to the polluted water supply. Jan de Huyter, a hops tenant, amassed a fortune, enabling him to construct this grand house. The hop cones on the house serve as a reminder of this. Additionally, the Gothic house features a high stepped gable, intended as a lookout tower, a significant status symbol for De Huyter.

• Museum Prinsenhof Delft - The Prinsenhof Museum holds historical significance for the Netherlands. It is the site where William of Orange was assassinated by the Frenchman Balthasar Gerards on July 10, 1584.
  The former Sint Agatha monastery is listed among the Top 100 of the National Service for the Preservation of Monuments since 1990. The museum showcases Delft Blue, prominent Delft scientists like Hugo de Groot and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, and Delft masters such as William of Orange and the House of Orange-Nassau. The museum’s collection includes paintings, pottery, and utensils from the Golden Age.
• Hofje van Gratie - The Hofje van Gratie is a courtyard for elderly men and women. In 1575, six houses were constructed on the Geer. Eighty years later, Delft experienced a massive explosion in the gunpowder magazine, causing extensive damage to buildings and homes in the city.

In 1660, a new courtyard was built on Van der Mastenstraat, where the explosion had cleared much space.

Since then, the Hofje van Gratie has comprised seven houses under a continuous saddle roof. The houses face the street, each with its own front door. This design was likely chosen because there was initially no room for a courtyard at the rear.

The houses were intended for couples or double occupancy. The living rooms featured a fireplace, a cupboard, and a box bed. A gallery ran along the rear facades, housing kitchens, privies, and a washing area.

• Hofje van Pauw - The courtyard was established in 1707 from the estate of Elisabeth Pauw, daughter of Delft mayor Jacob Pauw. She was the widow of Johan van der Dussen and later of his cousin Dirck van der Dussen, both of whom were also mayors.

The courtyard was intended for impoverished individuals and consists of eight houses, arranged in two rows of four, with a square in between.

The houses are currently used for individuals with mental or multiple disabilities.

• Vermeer Centrum Delft - The Vermeer Centrum is the largest museum dedicated to the painter Johannes Vermeer. Visitors can not only admire his work but also learn about the pigments he used and how he created his paint.
• Hugo de Groot Monument - The statue of Hugo de Groot. Born in Delft in 1583, Hugo de Groot was a jurist and writer.
  He authored Latin tragedies and poems, theological treatises, and Dutch poems. His most significant works are in the fields of history and law. His most renowned work is on the law of war and peace, forming the foundation for modern international law.
• Standbeeld Willem van Oranje - Statue of William of Orange. William of Orange was a statesman and military leader who played a pivotal role in the Eighty Years’ War and the establishment of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands.

In the Netherlands, he is known as the Father of the Fatherland. The name William of Orange originated when he inherited the title Prince of Orange in 1544.
On July 10, 1584, Balthasar Gerards assassinated William of Orange on the steps of the Prinsenhof in Delft. Gerards received a reward from King Philip II of Spain, who accused William of Orange of high treason.

• Vleeshal de Koornbeurs - The Koornbeurs is a national monument that began in 1295. The stone cellars were used for storing meat, which was traded in the wooden halls above. After these wooden halls were destroyed in the great city fire, they were rebuilt in 1650, this time in stone.
  In 1871, the Koornbeurs was established here, giving the building its name. It has served various purposes since then.
• Het blauwe Hart - The Blue Heart, created by artist Marcel Smink.
  The work has a contemporary connection with its historical surroundings. The striking technical construction of the statue refers to the Technical University, the blue to Delft blue, and the heart symbolizes the heart of the city.
