A Historical Gem: Binnenhof

Did you know that the Binnenhof has been a political center since the 16th century? This complex is the heart of Dutch governance.

Founded in the 13th century, the Binnenhof was initially the residence for counts of Holland and transformed into the political hub of the Dutch Republic by 1584. Its architecture features a delightful mix of Gothic structures, notably the ceremonial Ridderzaal, where key state events occur. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage site and demonstrates rich cultural value as one of the oldest parliament buildings still in use worldwide.
