Kneuterdijk Palace

Kneuterdijk Palace (Dutch: Paleis Kneuterdijk [paːˈlɛis knøːtərˈdɛik]) is a former royal palace of the Netherlands located in The Hague, nowadays the seat of the Council of State.

Built in 1716 in the Louis XIV style by architect Daniel Marot, it was commissioned by Count Johan Hendrik of Wassenaer-Obdam, member of the House of Wassenaer.

[1][2] The palace served as a residence for King William II of the Netherlands and his wife Queen Anna Paulowna in the first half of the 19th century, when he was still the crown prince.

William II added several buildings designed in the English Tudor style, of which only the so-called “Gothic Hall” has survived.

[5] Their grandson Crown Prince William used the palace from 1858 till his death in 1879.
