Mauritshuis, Former hunting lodge in Willemstad, Netherlands

The Mauritshuis features Dutch Renaissance architecture with stepped gables and stands as a two-aisled structure near the Hollands Diep waterway.

Prince Maurits of Orange commissioned the construction of this retreat in 1623, employing master carpenter Willem Arentssen van Salen from The Hague.

The building houses exhibitions by the historical society featuring collections about past living conditions and rotating displays in the Governors Room.

Visitors can explore the venue from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 and 17:00 during summer months, with modified hours during winter season.

The attic of Mauritshuis functioned as a national postal pigeon station during World War I while part of the building served as a military hospital.
