Delft -- The Old Church

The Oude Kirk -- or Old Church -- is plainer than the New Church, but just as beautiful. And it has gorgeous stained glass windows!

The Old Church has a large organ, similar to the one in the New Church, but it also has this beautiful small organ.
A partial view of one of the stained glass window. This one celebrates the Dutch sailing voyages.

For some reason, lots of the Old Church memorials and graves include skulls.
And in this case, a skeleton!
