Stadhouderlijk Hof, Palace and Rijksmonument in Leeuwarden, Netherlands.

The Stadhouderlijk Hof features a white facade with architectural elements from the 16th century, including detailed stonework and tall windows across its exterior.

Built in 1564 by Boudewijn van Loo, the palace served as residence for the Frisian branch of the House of Orange until 1747.

The palace contains an 18th-century portrait gallery designed by Daniel Marot in 1710, displaying paintings from notable Dutch artists.

The palace now functions as a hotel, maintaining its original lower floor structure and offering accommodations in a historical setting.

William IV was the final stadtholder to inhabit this palace before relocating to The Hague, marking the end of an era in Frisian governance.
