Benoordenhout (Dutch pronunciation: [bəˈnoːrdə(n)ˌɦʌut]) is a neighbourhood in the Haagse Hout district of The Hague.

As can be seen on historical maps[2] only the area between Koningskade and Jan van Nassaustraat, in today's Nassaubuurt, had residential buildings.

With the German invasion in 1940, construction stopped; only a few buildings were added, most notably the Julianakazerne barracks.

The sixties and seventies saw the construction of the eastern part of Duinzigt, the Bronovo hospital, the Nebo nursing home, and the ANWB headquarters.

[4] Mark Rutte lived in an apartment in the neighbourhood before, during and after his tenure as prime minister of the Netherlands.
