In the 17th century, Delft held several weapons depots for the Republic of the Seven United Provinces, Arsenaal (1601-1602) being one of the largest. The complex was expanded in 1691-1692, as commemorated in stone reliefs on the façade at Oude Delft. Upon dissolution of VOC in 1802, the East-India warehouse was added. Having lost its function as an armoury around 1900, the site housed a museum from 1986-2013. Following sustainable renovation, the complex is now in use as a hotel, conference centre and restaurant.
