Stadhouderspoort, Historical gate at Binnenhof, The Hague, Netherlands.
The Stadhouderspoort features a late Gothic archway constructed with Bentheimer sandstone, connecting the Binnenhof and Buitenhof sections of the complex.
Built in 1620, the original gate structure was moved to Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum garden in 1879, with an exact replica installed at the original location.
The gate served as the exclusive passage for the stadtholder, the Dutch Republic's highest executive official, representing the power structure of historical governance.
Located at Binnenhof 2500 AA in The Hague, the gate stands as one of four remaining entrances to the Binnenhof complex.
The structure initially included a drawbridge over a moat, which was removed in 1860 during renovations to accommodate urban development.
