House of Johan de Witt, Dutch Baroque mansion in The Hague, Netherlands

The mansion at Kneuterdijk 6 features an austere exterior with refined architectural elements designed by architect Pieter Post in Dutch Baroque style.

Built in 1655, the residence served as home to Johan de Witt, Grand Pensionary of Holland, from 1669 until his death in 1672.

The interior contains the 18th-century Salle de La Fontaine and a Chinese Cabinet, displaying the architectural and decorative evolution through different periods.

The building, now owned by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, functions as a venue for parliamentary meetings and cabinet formation negotiations.

A wall from the original property remains visible along Hartogstraat, preserving the historical layout of the garden and outbuildings.
