1. Huis van Oldenbarnevelt Marker
Gebouwd in 1611 als woonhuis voor de staatsman Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (1547-1619). Van Oldenbarnevelt was van 1586 tot 1619 landsadvocaat en raadpensionaris van de Staten van Holland. Het ontwerp van het huis wordt toegeschreven aan Hendrick de Keyser.
Op deze locatie woonden vanaf 1621 Frederik van de Palts en Elisabeth Stuart, de winterkoning en winterkoningin van Bohemen. Zij worden zo genoemd, omdat zij slechts ιιn seizoen heersten over Bohemen. Zij eindigden in ballingschap in Den Haag.
Momenteel maakt het pand deel uit van het gebouwencomplex van de Raad van State.
Built in 1611 as a residence for the statesman Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (1547-1619). From 1586 to 1619, Van Oldenbarnevelt was a State Advocate and grand pensionary of the States of Holland. The design of the house is attributed to Hendrick de Keyser.
This is where Frederick V of the Palatinate and Elisabeth Stuart lived from 1621. They were also known as the 'Winter King and Queen' of Bohemia, since Frederick's reign only lasted one winter. After their brief reign ended, they spent the rest of their lives in exile in The Hague.
The building is currently part of the building complex of the Council of State.

Overview: Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, Heer van Berkel en Rodenrijs (1600), Gunterstein (1611) and Bakkum (1613) (14 September 1547 13 May 1619) was a Dutch statesman and revolutionary who played an important role in the Dutch struggle for independence from the Habsburg Castilian Empire.
Van Oldenbarnevelt was born in Amersfoort. He studied law at the universities of Leuven, Bourges, Heidelberg, and Padua, and traveled in France and Italy before settling permanently in The Hague. He favored William the Silent in his revolt against Philip II of Spain, and fought in William's army.
