This lookout tower was built circa 1500, and is today preserved as a state monument (Rijksmonument). The back of the tower was set against the old defensive city wall which was built of earth and bordered by a canal. Both the wall and the canal are now gone leaving only the tower.

De Roos (The Rose) windmill, the last surviving windmill in Delft, was built in 1679 with a residence added in 1728. Its current appearance is from 1760. It is still active and the flour it grinds is sold in its gift shop. The mill is open if a blue flag is flying. For a group visit, call ahead.
Prinsenhof Museum
In medieval Delft Sint Agathaklooster was the biggest cloister in Delft. After 1650 it was split in two parts. Part of the chapel remained for religious service (Waalse Kerk). Prince William of Orange held court in the rest of the complex. He was assassinated here in 1584. Nowadays the complex houses some museums, including the city museum.
Old Church
This is Delft's oldest church, built in 1246. The interior of this church is excellent. Famous Dutchmen are buried in this church, including: Piet Hein, Maerten Tromp and Johannes Vermeer. The Old Church leans out considerably over the Oude Delft canal. When the tower was built the canal had to be moved away from the church as the tower would have been half in the water. During the building works it became apparent that canal-half of the base soil was not firm enough to support the tower. To compensate for the tilt the upper part of the tower was built with a compensating counter curve.
An imposing building dating from 1505 with richly decorated sandstone façade and a tower. Since 1645 it is a headquarters of Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland, a Dutch water board
