Where to stay in Voorhof

A visitor who wants Delft's museums grouped in one quarter is choosing Voorhof, since the Legermuseum, the Royal Delft Museum and the Museum Paul Tétar van Elven all fall under this entry. The hotels are Delft's. Booking the city covers it, and the same booking reaches Tanthof and Buitenhof, the two other quarters on the roll, without a second arrangement.

About Voorhof
What are the main landmarks in Voorhof?
Churches dominate the count. The Zuiderkerk, the Raamstraatkerk and the Sint-Adelbertkerk all appear under Voorhof, alongside two cloister names, the Sint-Barbaraklooster and Klooster Koningsveld, which together push the quarter's list well past a dozen entries. Museums fill much of the rest.
The Legermuseum, the Royal Delft Museum and the Museum Paul Tétar van Elven are all filed here, and a sports ground on the Laan van Vollering closes a list that runs long for a single quarter.
What is the history of Voorhof?
Voorhof has no founding year on file. What the entry offers instead is a set of buildings with ages of their own, the Sint-Barbaraklooster and Klooster Koningsveld among them, carried on the list as names rather than as dated foundations. Delft absorbed all of it. Provincie Zuid-Holland sits above the city and the Netherlands above the province, so the chain that can be verified for Voorhof is one of address rather than chronology.
Where is Voorhof?
Voorhof is one of Delft's quarters in Provincie Zuid-Holland, sharing the city roll with Tanthof and Buitenhof and holding the Zuiderkerk.
