oude kerk

旧教堂位于代尔夫特城内较靠北的地方。是建于13世纪的庄严建筑，其钟楼为高达75米，由于地基沉下的原因，斜得不少，从南边的运河畔的角度来看，斜得相当厉害。在代尔夫特的第一天到这儿的时候，过了18点，已关门，第二天又去看里面。旧教堂给我们的印象是应该颜色深，较暗，但很意外，内部墙面为白色，相当亮。这里的彩色玻璃很不错，表达的内容与荷兰皇家有关的，而不是圣经的故事。还有木头天顶也觉得很不错。此教堂的左侧有维米尔的墓，石碑不太显眼，但有指示牌子，最好别错过。

你一定要留好你的发票,这样你才不用在另一个教堂再买一次票。如果你有时间和精力的话,去爬一爬这里的塔,在塔上放眼望尽那美丽的景色,还是一件很有意思的事的。教堂的小册子里记录了这里很多的历史故事,非常有意思。

作为一个美国人,这些古老的建筑对我来说特别有吸引力。那些彩色玻璃真是美极了。你可以凭一张票同时参观欧德科克(老教堂)和荷兰新科克(新教堂)两个教堂。游览了第一个教堂之后,我们一边穿过城市中心,一边用午餐,之后又去参观得第二座教堂。记得低头往下看,不然你会错过很多的历史文物和雕刻。

我是个对教堂的狂热爱好者,我喜欢这个教堂。你可以一路走上教堂的尖塔去看到这个城市的全景。要上到教堂的顶部需要一些时间,但是我70多岁的老母都做到了。所以大多数的人应该都能做到。

这座教堂就在大广场的外边,虽然你从大广场上就能看到它,但还是很容易就把它忽略掉了。教堂里的那座塔已经开始倾斜了,会让你看上去产生错觉,所以看起来很有趣。这个教堂最吸引人的地方恐怕还要数约翰内斯维米尔的墓碑(他是一个著名的荷兰画家),还有安东尼·凡·列文虎克的纪念碑了(他是现代显微镜的发明者)。不过,老教堂里最出彩的还是它的那些彩色玻璃窗,上面描绘的都是圣经里的画面。这些彩色玻璃真的是太美太让人震惊了。如果你在代尔夫特或是海牙的话,那这座老教堂一定是你必须去看的一个地方(只要坐10分钟的火车就能到了)。这座教堂是要付钱才能进入的(我当时买的是2欧元的学生票,我觉得普通票的票价应该是3欧元左右),不过这个票还涵盖了新教堂(加冕之地新教堂),这也是一个必看的地方!

Delft is an old historic mansion Holland. There are channels that perfectly complement the building. Not only Oude Kerk (the Old Church) is important and beautiful.

very interesting historically and visually fine architecture and interesting artifacts, well worth the low entrance fee You can.learn much about the history of The Netherlands and its Royal Family

this church locked the guy killed the founding fathder of netherlands, for money! other than this, its.a pretty building from outside. good for photos.

The Oude Kerk "Old Church" dominates the skyline of Delft, a quaint city in southern Holland. You don't really have to look for the church or ask for directions. The Old Church towers above the smaller cottage buildings that encompass the surrounding pedestrian streets and the Markt Square. So picturesque, the dark red brick stands out especially with the black clock and white numbers. Sitting adjacent to the canal, with trees, flowers the magnificent church is beautiful - and after I returned home I discovered it leans, a bit.Oddly, when looking at my photos I believed I must have tilted my camera when photographing Oude Kerk! I was surprised. Later at home, I forgot about the photos and I researched the year the church was built (1246). After a little additional research, I discovered the tower actually leans. It is believed the location of Oude Kerk just next to the canal may have left the foundation unstable. Renovations of the church over the centuries resulted in corrective measures to try to straighten the Old Church Tower. Unbelievably, my photos are accurate and the church leans. The four turrets at the top are more vertically aligned, giving the tower a slightly kinked appearance. Another leaning tower located in Delft! Beautiful Oude Kerk!

The Oude Kerk is an old Gothic style church. Quite simple especially when compared to the Baroque churches elsewhere in Europe. Massive stone and brick building, quite awe inspiring. The ability to climb the tower is amazing and there are incredible views from the top. Well worth the admission. While not heavy on stained glass there are a couple dozen stained windows that I think are each stand alone stories within them, Adam & Eve, and so on. Quite beautiful with the right light. Probably my favorite church in all of Holland.

The inside of this nearly 770 year old church is well worth the 2-3 euro admission that also includes a visit in the tower of the Nieuw Kerk that overlooks the Delft Markt Square (and pretty much all of Delft, and even Rotterdamn on a clear day). On our tour we were told a wonderful story about the church and the convent that was across the road. On one particularly stormy night with the wind howling down Oude Delft and battering the already leaning tower of the Oude Kerk (due to leather liner leakage during construction on the foundation) a nun of the convent near Sint Agathaplien rushed into the headmasters office worried about the possible tipping of the tower on to her part of the building. The priest looked at her and said, "Don't worry sister, we are in the Lord's hands." To which she replied, "It's not my faith in God I'm questioning this evening, but that in the men who built the tower." Anyhow, interesting story. True? No idea, but when I walk by the Oude Kerk everyday on my way to work I think of the fleeing nuns.

We visited Amsterdam in April and for a day side trip went to Delft where we visited this church and the "New Kerk" on a single money saving entrance ticket. This church was quite beautiful in a very simple way. It was lovely to hear the silence. In the floor at the front of the church is supposedly the final resting place of the noted artist Vermeer. Well worth a visit.

Again - Sadly I did not allow enough time to fully explore this amazing church and its history. You can buy a money saving Combined Ticket for entry into the New & Old Kerks

This is a beautiful place of contemplation and meditation. Atmosphere is very different from Nieuwe Kerk.

A very important monument and so much to know about! Absolutely to research the history of all this , who is buried there, what are the meanings of certain artworks, so interesting!
