't Goude Hooft, The Hague, Historical inn and restaurant at Dagelijkse Groenmarkt, The Netherlands.
The Goude Hooft is a restaurant and gathering place on Dagelijkse Groenmarkt in The Hague, recognizable by the two golden heads that decorate its facade. The building displays traditional Dutch architectural details from the 1600s and operates today as a dining establishment serving lunch and dinner in the city center.
The building started as a tavern in 1423 called 'In tgulde hoift' and served as a meeting place for nobility and knights of the era. It underwent major reconstruction in 1660, when it acquired the distinctive appearance that defines it today.
The two golden heads adorning the facade give the place its name and immediately catch the eye of anyone passing by. These ornaments have become a visual landmark that residents and visitors easily recognize in the square.
The restaurant sits in the heart of the city on an active square and is within walking distance of major attractions. It is a popular spot for meals, so expect it to be busy during typical lunch and dinner hours.
The building narrowly escaped planned demolition by a brewery before World War II. Its restoration was based on original architectural drawings, which ensured its authentic form was preserved.
