Museum Het Prinsenhof
Former monastery and municipal museum in Delft, Netherlands
The Prinsenhof ("The Court of the Prince") in the city of Delft in the Netherlands is an urban palace built in the Middle Ages as a monastery. Later it served as a residence for William the Silent. William was assassinated in the Prinsenhof by Balthasar Gérard in 1584 - the holes in the wall made by the bullets at the main stairs are still visible.
Since 1911, the building houses a municipal museum.[1] Today, the building displays a collection of Dutch Golden Age paintings.[2]
