Plenaire zaal Eerste Kamer, Senate assembly hall in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Plenaire zaal Eerste Kamer features high ceilings, classical architectural elements, and formal seating arrangements for parliamentary proceedings within its historic walls.
Architect Pieter Post completed the construction of this governmental chamber in 1666, during the period when Dutch Baroque architecture reached its pinnacle of influence.
The hall represents the foundation of Dutch democracy, serving as the primary meeting space where senators gather to debate and vote on national legislation.
