Het Loo Palace, Royal palace in Apeldoorn, Netherlands
Het Loo Palace stands at the edge of Apeldoorn and combines residential quarters, formal state rooms, and a large French-style garden within one estate. The interior shows wood paneling, painted ceilings, and furniture from the time when the building served as a royal country residence.
Jacob Roman and Johan van Swieten built the country estate starting in 1686 for William of Orange, who later became King of England. The property remained in family hands for centuries and eventually opened its doors as a museum.
Visitors walk through rooms where the royal family once lived and can see portraits of rulers from past generations hanging on the walls. These rooms show how a palace worked as both a home and a center of power.
The museum is open most weekdays and offers guided tours in several languages. Visitors using wheelchairs will find ramps and elevators in the main areas.
A new floor was built beneath the courtyard, receiving daylight through skylights and linking modern exhibition space to the old structure. Visitors can look down through glass floors into these underground rooms from above.
