Lutheran Church, Delft

Lutheran Church, Delft

Evangelist Lutheran Church, previously known as St George's Chapel, is an attractive church situated at Noordeinde Street. One of the oldest churches to be built in Delft, the church dates back to the 16th century when it was used as a chapel for St. George Hospital. It was erected on the site of an even older church. In the middle of the 18th century, it was used as a Delft artillery depot. In 1768 it gained a new facade designed by Nicholas Terburgh and was transformed into the Lutheran Church. This place of worship is one of the few buildings to have survived the Great Fire in 1536.
