In 1878, the current accommodation on the Hogewal in The Hague was put into use. Among other things, the Royal Stable Department houses the galley room. These are used on ceremonial occasions.

Palace Noordeinde and Palace Garden

Palace Noordeinde is the working palace of King Willem-Alexander. The palace is the centre of many important events in the life of the Royal Family. Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard and Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien said 'I do' to each other here. Such a magnificent palace, of course, requires a royal garden.

The Palace Garden is hidden between Noordeinde Palace, the Royal Stables and the Royal Archives. Here you can unwind in an oasis of peace, nature and art, right in the centre of The Hague. Besides the Royal Stables, the Noordeinde Palace and the Palace Gardens are definitely worth a visit!
