Oranjewoud (West Frisian: Oranjewâld, literally "Orange Forest") is a small village in the Netherlands.
In 1676 Countess Albertine Agnes of Nassau bought a country seat in the woods as a buitenplaats or summer residence.
She was a Princess of Orange, and a widow of the Frisian Stadtholder Willem Frederik of Nassau-Dietz.
After her death, her daughter Princess Henriëtte Amalia of Anhalt-Dessau owned the palace.
After Princess Henriëtte's death, John William Friso, Prince of Orange lived in the palace.
He died very early, and his wife, Landgravine Marie Louise of Hesse-Kassel stayed at Oranjewoud after his death.
During the French Revolution the palace was demolished and the estate was sold to the Frisian nobility.
In 1953 this estate was sold in two parts by the family De Blocq van Scheltinga.
The collection consists mainly of works by Frisian artists, like Jan Mankes, Thijs Rinsema, Tames Oud, Gerrit Benner, Boele Bregman, William Althuis and Sjoerd de Vries.
