Description
Loosduinen Abbey Church is a religious building in The Hague that displays transitional features between Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. The original structure was built between 1238 and 1250 and has maintained its core form across the centuries.
History
The abbey gained protection from Utrecht Bishop Wilbrand van Oldenburg in 1231, establishing it as an official religious settlement in the region. During 1574, the structure survived destruction attempts by Geuzen forces and Spanish troops, remaining standing for continued use.

The church is located at Willem III-straat 40 and can be reached by tram lines 2 and 3 from The Hague Central Station. Free parking is available in the nearby area, making it easy to visit during regular opening hours.
