Prinsenhof

Prinsenhof is a museum housed in a medieval building with Gothic architecture spread across multiple floors. The rooms contain exhibitions of pottery, paintings, and objects that span different periods of Dutch history.

The building was originally founded as a monastery in the 16th century and later became the residence of an important political family. The rooms reflect events that shaped Dutch independence.

The museum displays Delft Blue pottery and paintings that show how Dutch craftsmanship techniques developed and changed over time.

The museum is located in the city center and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should allow sufficient time to explore all exhibition rooms, as these spread across multiple levels.

The walls still bear visible marks from a dramatic event that changed Dutch history. These physical traces tell the story of a turbulent period and remain visible for visitors to see.
