(Local Name: Delft - Oude Kerk / Heilige Geestkerkhof) Northwest of the Delft Town Hall, reached by way of the Hippolytusbuurt, stands the Oude Kerk (Heilige Geestkerkhof; Reformed), built around 1250, with a slightly leaning tower and fine timber vaulting of 1574. The tower, originally 14th century, was rebuilt in 1450 in a style very characteristic of "Coastal Gothic", with four corner turrets round the pyramidal roof.
The church contains a number of important works of art - a carved pulpit of 1548; in the choir the marble tomb of Admiral Piet Hein (d. 1629), who captured the Spanish silver fleet in 1628; in the chapel to the left of the choir the tomb of Admiral Maarten Tromp (d. 1653), who commanded
