Huis Schuylenburch, Baroque house at Lange Vijverberg, The Hague, Netherlands
The Huis Schuylenburch is a Baroque residence on Lange Vijverberg in The Hague with a symmetrical facade and ornate decorative details. Today it serves as the German ambassador's residence and overlooks the Hofvijver lake in the city center.
The building was designed by architect Daniel Marot in 1715 and later influenced the style of other important structures in The Hague. Its construction was overseen by Felix du Sart for the original owner Cornelis van Schuylenburch.
The building reflects the tastes of wealthy residents from the early 1700s who combined French Baroque design with Dutch construction methods. This blend shows how The Hague's upper class adapted European ideas to suit their own architectural traditions.
The residence is located in the city center right beside a lake, making it part of a pleasant waterside walk. Since it functions as a diplomatic building, visitors can view the exterior while the interior remains closed to the public.
The original owner had a brother, Johan van Schuylenburch, who was so impressed by the residence that he had a similar house built for himself. This connection between the two properties reveals how strongly architectural innovations of the era influenced wealthy families.
