Paviljoen Welgelegen, Neoclassical provincial house in Haarlem, Netherlands.

The Paviljoen Welgelegen features a grand facade with Doric and Ionic columns, facing the Haarlemmerhout park with symmetrical driveways and lion statues.

Built between 1786 and 1789 by banker Henry Hope, the building later served as residence for King Louis Napoleon and Princess Wilhelmina of Prussia.

The south wing contained three dedicated rooms that displayed an extensive art collection, making it an early example of a private museum space.

The building now functions as the administrative headquarters for the Noord-Holland province and opens to visitors on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The marble-like grand staircase conceals a wooden core, while the interior decorations reflect archaeological influences from Pompeii discoveries of that period.
