Catshuis, Official residence in The Hague, Netherlands
The Catshuis stands as a two-story mansion with white walls, classical architecture elements, and traditional Dutch gabled roofs in The Hague.
Jacob Cats commissioned architect Pieter Post to construct this residence in 1651, which was completed on July 14, 1652 as a private villa.
The mansion received the designation of Rijksmonument, marking its status as a protected national monument of the Netherlands.
The residence functions primarily as a venue for governmental meetings and receptions rather than housing the Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
The mansion features a bronze bell and tower added in 1738 by Willem Bentinck, son of King-Stadholder William III's chamberlain.
