Facts and practical information

The Maria van Jesse Church is a neo-Gothic Roman Catholic parish church in the city of Delft, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The church was built in the period 1875 - 1882 and designed by Evert Margry, student of P.J.H. Cuypers. Originally this church was dedicated to St. Joseph, but since 1971 to Mary of Jesse. The church is now part of the Sint Ursulaparochie under which all Catholic parish churches in Delft fall. The church is built in the shape of a cross.

The church was the first Catholic church to be reestablished in the city center after the Reformation. The Old John and the New Church were Catholic before the Reformation, but reformed afterwards. The two towers of the Maria van Jesse Church refer to the two former Catholic churches; in terms of model, they refer to the towers of the Old Church and the New Church.
