The kruithuis is a 17th-century munition depot. It was built far out of the city center after the old munition depot exploded (Delftse Donderslag), The site features a gate house and 2 magazines build into the water. Nowadays the complex houses a scouting organisation and a student fraternity. There are no tours or visitor centre, but it is a great place to visit for lovers of old architecture.
