Huguetan House, Private mansion at Lange Voorhout, The Netherlands.

The Louis XIV style mansion features ornate stucco work in the staircase depicting Peace and the Senses by Italian artists Carlo Castoldi and M. Chiesa.

Built in 1734 for Adriana Margaretha Huguetan, daughter of a banker, the house later served as temporary residence for King William I in 1813.

The mansion reflects the influence of French Huguenot architecture through its designer Daniel Marot, who previously worked as court architect for Louis XIV.

The building currently functions as temporary accommodation for the First Chamber of the States-General during the renovation of the Binnenhof complex.

Between 1819 and 1982, the mansion contained the Royal Library collection, marking over 160 years as repository of national literary treasures.
