Excerpt: House Huguetan on the Lange Voorhout in The Hague has a rich royal history. This city palace built in 1734 was the temporary residence of William I in 1813. William II and his wife Anna Paulowna made use of it as well. Today it is in use as a temporary museum.(Submitted on February 23, 2024.)
History: It's difficult for us to imagine, but Lange Voorhout has not always had such magnificient buildings. The older, smaller houses which used to be here, graduallyfell into disrepair and were consequently demolished in the 17th and 18th centuries. Construction of the town palace at No. 34 commenced in 1734. The architect Daniλl Marot, wo was court architect to Louis XIV of France, designed and built the house for Adriana Margaretha Huguetan, a wealthy banker's daughter. After her death, her neighbour Baron van Tuyll bought House Huguetan. Since he also owned the house on the other side, he was able to connect the houses with one another by building a single faηade at the front. This faηade, designed by Pieter de Swart, was finished in 1761.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, May 8, 20232.

Royal inhabitants: In 1813, the city palace became the temporary residence of King William I after he arrived in the Netherlands. He only lived here a short period of time, before he moved to the newly renovated Noordeinde Palace. William II and his wife Anna Paulowna made use of House Huguetan as well. They lived here for two years before moving to Kneuterdijk Palace.
