Why go
The square occupies ground once used as a garden for the counts’ court. Lodewyk Royer’s statue of William of Orange anchors its present public space, while the Mauritshuis faces it at Plein 29. Pausing here lets you see how a former court setting became a meeting point for political and cultural landmarks. Walk through when linking the Mauritshuis to the Binnenhof rather than treating it as a long standalone stop.
