The Royal Palace was built by architect Jacob van Campen in 1665. Originally this place was the city hall but a century and a half later it became the residence of Napoleon’s brother-king Louis. Nowadays the Royal Palace as its name may suggest, functions as the Queen’s residence during official visits and receptions.  The interior is marvelously decorated by renowned sculptors and painters such as Rembrandt and Ferdinand Bol.
