Torentje, Prime Minister's office tower at Binnenhof, Netherlands
The octagonal Torentje rises from the edge of Binnenhof complex, featuring two floors with large windows overlooking the Hofvijver lake in The Hague.
Built during the first half of the 14th century, the tower initially served as a summer pavilion for the Counts of Holland with a drawbridge to their garden.
Since 1982, the Torentje functions as the primary workplace of Dutch Prime Ministers, marking a shift from its previous role as Minister of Interior office.
The ground floor contains the Thorbecke meeting room where the Prime Minister receives ministers and delegations, while the upper floor houses the main office.
The tower stands directly opposite the House of Representatives offices, creating a physical connection between executive and legislative branches of Dutch government.
