Delft - Oostpoort

Going southeast from the choir of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft along the Oosteinde canal, we come to the picturesque Oostpoort, situated at the junction of a number of canals at the southeast corner of the old town. The twin towers of this old town gate, built about 1400, were heightened in the 16th century by the addition of octagonal upper stories and pointed roofs. From here there are fine views of the town.
