Prinsenhof - Delft
This former convent in Delft is named after Saint Agatha, the namesake of daughter Aechte. In 1403, a group of nuns settled in the house and labelled it a convent. In the years that followed, it was continually expanded until it eventually became the largest and richest medieval convent in Delft.
After it was divided in the 16th century, part of the monastery was turned into the court of Prince William of Orange. Since then it has been called the Prinsenhof. On the spot where Balthasar Gerards shot William of Orange you can still see the bullet holes. Especially for visitors of the Prinsenhof, the bullet holes have been made larger.
The Museum Prinsenhof is currently undergoing major renovation. The reopening is planned for autumn 2027.
