Noordeinde Palace
Local name: Paleis Noordeinde
Noordeinde Palace is one of the three official palaces of the Dutch Royal Family. Since 2013, it has been the workplace of King Wilhelm-Alexander. The building is located in the very center of The Hague. The street where it is located is referred to as "the largest concentration of art and monuments" in the whole of the Netherlands. The palace is unfortunately not available to visitors. At the back of the building, however, there are royal gardens forming a small park that you can freely visit.
It was originally a medieval farm, which was rebuilt and enlarged in the 16th century. From the beginning of French rule until the Second World War, Noordeinde Palace in The Hague was used as a royal palace. As a result of hostilities, the building was slightly damaged, and was further destroyed during a fire in 1948. Only after a thorough renovation, which took place in 1984, Queen Beatrix decided to re-use the palace.
