The King's office: Noordeinde Palace is the working palace of the King of the Netherlands (not his home), built as a farmhouse in the fifteenth century and enlarged by the House of Orange into a classical palace in the seventeenth — with an equestrian statue of William the Silent, founder of the Dutch state, before it. The interior is not open, but its surroundings reward a walk: Noordeinde street itself is among The Hague's most refined, lined with galleries, auction houses and cafés, and behind the palace the Paleistuin garden is free and open to all — a quiet English garden with a pond and lawns where the city's office workers take lunch. The moment visitors come for is Prinsjesdag, the third Tuesday of September: the King rides out from here in the royal carriage to the Hall of Knights to open parliament — the most famous Dutch royal rite, with the streets filling from early morning.
