Grafelijke Zalen, Gothic palace at Binnenhof, The Hague, Netherlands
The Grafelijke Zalen palace contains several halls, including the Ridderzaal, Rolzaal, Kelderzaal, Lairessezaal, Weeskamer, and Rombouts Hogerbeetskamer, forming a medieval architectural ensemble.
Construction of this palace commenced in 1250 under Count Floris IV and reached completion by 1290, incorporating architectural elements from both Romanesque and Gothic traditions.
The palace serves as the official reception center for the Dutch government and High Councils of State, hosting ceremonial gatherings and state functions.
The entire complex remains closed during an extensive renovation project of the Binnenhof, with all ceremonial activities temporarily relocated to alternative venues.
The Kelderzaal, situated beneath the Rolzaal, represents one of the oldest sections of the palace, designed for substantial official functions during the 13th century.
