Koninklijke Schouwburg, Royal theatre in city center, The Hague, Netherlands.
The Koninklijke Schouwburg features a main auditorium with three balconies and classical architectural elements in the neo-Louis XIV style.
Architect Pieter de Swart designed the building in 1766 as a city palace for Prince Charles Christian of Nassau-Weilburg before its conversion to a theater in 1804.
Since 2017, the Koninklijke Schouwburg has served as a primary venue for Het Nationale Theater company, presenting Dutch and international performances.
The theater maintains 680 seats across multiple levels and provides complete wheelchair accessibility, including adapted toilets and designated parking spaces.
The building underwent a transformation from a royal residence to a municipal theater, reflecting changes in Dutch society through architectural modifications over two centuries.
