Lonely Planet review for Koninklijk Paleis

The Koninklijk Paleis is the official residence of Queen Beatrix, although she actually lives in Den Haag. Built as a grand city hall in 1665, the building later became the palace of Napoleon’s brother, Louis. In a classic slip-up in the new lingo, French-born Louis told his subjects here that he was the ‘rabbit (konijn) of Holland’, whereas he meant ‘king’ (konink). Napoleon dismissed him two years later. The opulent, chandelier- and mural-filled interior sparkles after a major renovation completed in 2009.
