Oude Kerk, Gothic church in Delft, Netherlands
The Oude Kerk stands 75 meters tall with a leaning tower and features brick construction with pointed arches along the Oude Delft canal.
Construction began in 1240 with Bartholomeus van der Made expanding a previous tuff church, receiving consecration to Saint Bartholomew in 1246.
The church contains the burial sites of notable Dutch figures including Admiral Maarten Tromp and painter Jan Vermeer within its Gothic interior.
Visitors can explore the church interior, examine the stained glass windows, and observe the architectural elements from different periods throughout the day.
The foundation problems during construction between 1325 and 1350 resulted in the permanent lean of the bell tower, visible from multiple points.
