It's blue Monday again and my entry for this week is the Nieuwe Kerk (English: New Church) in Delft, the Netherlands. We went to Delft last Saturday and I was fascinated with the architectural design of the church. The church tower is very high with a clock in front of it. The picture fits for my blue Monday meme because of the blue sky background.
The Nieuwe Kerk is a landmark church in Delft, the Netherlands. The building is located on Delft Market Square (Markt), opposite to the Delft City Hall (Dutch: Stadhuis). In 1584, William the Silent was entombed here in a mausoleum designed by Hendrick and Pieter de Keyser. Since then members of the House of Orange-Nassau have been entombed in the royal crypt. The latest are Princess Juliana (Queen of the Netherlands from 1948-1980) and her husband Prince Bernhard in 2004. The private royal family crypt is not open to the public.

What a pretty and large church. I would probably get lost in it. I enjoyed the history of it.
Just gorgeous! I love church architecture throughout the world.
I'm a new follower enjoying my first visit to your blog!
Girl, the church is awesome, it is very much vintage. Hmm I wonder how many long years it's standing there. My blue Monday is here http://www.mjoannafaith.com/2011/01/blue-monday-29-in-his-slumber.html
