Binnenhof
The political heart of the Netherlands, where a 13th-century Knights' Hall and parliamentary buildings are reflected in the Court Pond. Major renovations are currently underway.
The Binnenhof is home to the Dutch parliament, and its complex dates back to the 13th century. The central Knights' Hall hosts the annual Prince's Day speech by the King. Closed for a full renovation since 2021, Parliament has temporarily moved out, and the buildings are not expected to reopen in stages until after 2028. During this time, you can only admire the exterior from the Court Pond, where the lakeside offers the best photo spots. It is next to the Mauritshuis.
