Huis ten Bosch, Royal palace in The Hague, Netherlands

The palace features a central section with two extended wings, measuring 110 meters in length, located within the Haagse Bos forest northeast of The Hague.

Amalia van Solms commissioned architect Pieter Post to design the residence for her husband Frederik Hendrik in 1645, marking the beginning of its royal connections.

The central Oranjezaal contains ceiling paintings by Dutch artists depicting Frederik Hendrik's achievements, representing significant Dutch artistic heritage from the 17th century.

While the palace remains closed to public access due to its function as a royal residence, visitors can view its exterior from Bezuidenhoutseweg street.

The palace served as the location for the First International Peace Conference in 1899, demonstrating its role beyond royal affairs.
