Monuments

The Hague offers a wealth of impressive monuments. Each with a special story. The Hague has over 1100 national monuments and more than 1300 municipal monuments. A monument is a building or object that has cultural-historical value (s). These can be buildings from the Middle Ages such as the Grote or Sint Jacobskerk and the Ridderzaal, but also much younger objects, such as the former American embassy on Lange Voorhout. Discover the past and experience how important it is that we remember to whom or what we owe our Freedom, Peace and Justice. Pay a visit to the Jewish monument to the 12,000 deported Jews from The Hague, sympathize with De Scheveningen Fisherman's Wife who lost her lover at sea and experience pride at the Independence Monument that represents the foundation of the Netherlands.
