Huis ten Bosch
At the east end of the Haagse Bos, surrounded by a moat, is the Huis ten Bosch, built by Pieter Post in 1644-46 as a country residence for Amalia van Solms, wife of Stadholder Frederick Henry. The facade was rebuilt by Daniël Marot in 1734-37, and two wings were added in 1748. The first international peace conference met here in 1899. The house is now the residence of Queen Beatrix and her family. A notable feature is the octagonal Orange Hall, the 15m/50ft high walls of which were entirely covered by the widowed Amalia van Solms between 1648 and 1653 with pictures in memory of her husband.
