The palace as an organization

Paleis Het Loo is the largest authentic 17th-century palace of the House of Orange-Nassau. Since 1984, our visitors have been able to gain a sense of how the Dutch royal family lived and worked here, enjoying the gardens, the palace and the natural surroundings. This is a place with a very special history.
