Why go
The building began as a sixteenth-century residence. The States of Holland acquired it for Louise de Coligny and her son Frederik Hendrik, and later alterations turned it into a palace for the House of Orange. Its frontage sits directly on Noordeinde, giving a walk through ordinary central streets a continuing royal connection. View it from the street, then consider the nearby Palace Garden as a separate outdoor pause; do not assume routine access to the palace rooms.
What to look for
- The palace fronts directly onto Noordeinde.
- Its history reaches back to a sixteenth-century residence later enlarged for the House of Orange.
Useful to know
- Plan to see the palace from the street.
- If you hope to enter, check the Royal House’s current announcements for occasional public opening days.
