Description
Delfshaven is a neighbourhood with a picturesque center in Rotterdam, Holland. It's claim to fame is the Pilgrim Fathers Church from which in 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers left for America.
Founded as a harbour of Delft in the 14th century, Delfshaven remained an independent municipality untill 1886 when it became part of the city of Rotterdam. Being far enough out of the city centre it was untouched by the bombing on May 14th, 1940. As a result Delfshaven is a striking contrast with the modern post-war city.
