Explore Delft
Delft is famous for its rich history, its connection with the Dutch Royal Family, the painter Johannes Vermeer, and the world-famous Delft Blue ceramics.
Although Delft is a relatively small city, it has played an important role in Dutch history. The city developed around the 10th century and became an important centre of trade after the canal connection to the River Meuse was created. Later, Delft became internationally known for its blue-and-white ceramics, inspired by porcelain from Asia but developed into a unique Dutch tradition.
Delft is also strongly connected to William of Orange, one of the key figures in the history of the Netherlands. He lived in Delft and was assassinated there in 1584. His tomb is located in the Nieuwe Kerk, and the Dutch Royal Family, the House of Orange-Nassau, is still closely linked to the city.
Today, Delft combines history, culture, science, and student life. It is home to Delft University of Technology, one of the leading technical universities in the Netherlands, giving the city a lively and international atmosphere.
