Nieuwe Kerk is a landmark church in Delft, the Netherlands. The Nieuwe Kerk (English: New Church) is located on Delft Market Square (Markt), opposite to Delft City Hall (Dutch: Stadhuis). In 1584, William the Silent was entombed here in a mausoleum designed by Hendrick and Pieter de Keyser. Since then members of the House of Orange-Nassau have been entombed in the royal crypt. The latest are Queen Juliana (Queen of the Netherlands from 1948-1980) and her husband Prince Bernhard in 2004. The royal crypt is not open to the public.
