Binnenhof

The Binnenhof is a complex of buildings in the centre of The Hague, Netherlands, that grew from the residence of the counts of Holland, begun by Count William II around 1250, with the great Hall of Knights (Ridderzaal) built under Floris V. Since the late 16th century it has housed the States General and other organs of government, and it remains the seat of the Dutch parliament.
