Lange Voorhout 78, The Hague, Protected monument in Lange Voorhout, The Hague, Netherlands.
The Russenhuis stands next to Escher Museum with its 19th-century facade at number 78 Lange Voorhout, part of the architectural landscape of The Hague.
From 1871 to 2017, this building belonged to the Dutch Royal House and served as residence for palace staff until 1958 before housing Russian refugees.
Under Princess Wilhelmina's initiative, the building provided shelter to elderly stateless Russian refugees who fled their homeland after the 1917 February Revolution.
The building changed functions throughout time, from staff quarters to refugee housing, then becoming the Grand Master's residence of the Royal House until 2015.
Regular visits from Military Intelligence Service students occurred as they practiced Russian language skills with the elderly refugee residents.
