Hand made toys, nostalgic sideboards, and traditional candy are only some of the throwbacks one can find a the Winkeltje Kouwenhoven in Delft. A shop that goes all the way back to 1867, it originally specialized in chemicals, paints, glass work, as well as being a pharmacy.

Technically, having become part of the Het Prinsenhof museum in 1985, it is no longer officially a shop. But that doesn't mean you can't walk in and experience the flavors of the late 1800's and early 1900's, or even take some home with you.

The store is located on the Sint Agathaplein 3a, in the heart of beautiful Delft. Several trains per hour leave from Amsterdam Central Station to Delft, the trip takes about an hour, and costs 20 euro round trip.
