Huguetan House, Private mansion at Lange Voorhout, The Netherlands.
Huguetan House is a Louis XIV style mansion on Lange Voorhout in The Hague featuring ornate stucco work in the staircase. Italian artists including Carlo Castoldi created decorative scenes depicting Peace and the Senses.
The house was built in 1734 for Adriana Margaretha Huguetan, daughter of a banker. It later served as a temporary residence for King William I in 1813.
The mansion bears the mark of Daniel Marot, an architect who worked at the court of Louis XIV and brought French design principles to the Netherlands. His influence is visible in the refined layout of the rooms and the sophisticated decorative details.
The building currently serves as temporary accommodation for the First Chamber of the States-General during the renovation of the Binnenhof complex. Visitors should note that access may be limited since it functions as an active workplace.
Between 1819 and 1982, the mansion housed the Royal Library collection, serving for over 160 years as a repository of the nation's most important literary treasures. This period as a national library shaped the house's story as much as its original purpose as a private residence.
