Being such a young city there is not a lot of old stuff to see:
The old church
At the crossing of the Dorpsstraat/Vlamingstraat you can find the oldest church. With first constructions dating back to the 16th century, it's one of the oldest buildings around.
The Italian architect Guidici made the design in Classicist style. The church houses some nice antiquities, for example a Lodewijk XVI style pulpit.
A houwork made in 1664 by Harmannus Brouckman from nearby Leiden.
