Sint-Huybrechtstoren

Description

The "Sint-Huybrechtstoren" in Delft, South Holland, is a 16th-century wall tower that was part of the city's medieval fortifications. Named after Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters, it served as a storage site for weapons and gunpowder. An underground tunnel connected the tower, which was uncovered and reinforced in the summer of 2020. Adjacent to the tower is a boathouse designed by the renowned art forger Han van Meegeren for the rowing club De Delftsche Sport (DDS), which remains in use today.
