Torentje

The Torentje (Dutch: Het Torentje [ə ˈtoːrə(ɲ)tɕə]; English: "The Little Tower"), located at the Binnenhof in The Hague next to the Mauritshuis museum, has been the office of the Prime Minister of the Netherlands since 1982.

The torentje (literally turret) is a small octagonal building at the Hofvijver, which is first mentioned in chronicles in 1354 and probably dates from the first half of the 14th century.

At the edge of the Parliament Buildings it was originally a summer gazebo for Counts of Holland.

At the site of this garden, later east of the Tower the Mauritshuis (now a museum) was built around 1640 as the residence for John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen.

East of the Tower is the Mauritshuis and the Grenadiers Gate, that gives access to Parliament Buildings.
