The Delfland Water Board is located in the Gemeenlandshuis in Delft. This late-Gothic house was built in 1505. Its first owner was Jan de Heuyter, sheriff of Delft and bailiff of Delfland. He was also the tenant of the hop excise duty. The house was therefore also called the "House with the Bells" after its interior decoration featuring hop cones. The Delfland Water Board has been based there since 1645.

At Museum Prinsenhof Delft, we tell stories based on three themes that are essential in Delft: William of Orange, Delft Blue, and Delft Masters. The museum also inspires with changing exhibitions and projects like the Delft View. We want every visitor to recognize themselves and feel welcome. The museum is a former monastery and was used as William of Orange's court. The building is listed in the top 100 by the Netherlands Heritage Agency. Museum Prinsenhof Delft is temporarily closed for renovations and modernization. The museum will reopen in early 2027.
