The Oranges and their palaces

OTYPE=R : noordendorpcompleet.txt : 00073 | Author gives an overview of the palaces and country houses built for the Oranges. Here the following architects are mentioned: Jacob van Campen, Pieter Post, Maurits Post, Daniël Marot and Jan de Greef (together with A. Noordendorp had renovated the Kneuterdijk palace in 1816). Prince Frederik, son of King William I, was an enthusiastic collector of real estate. On the occasion of his marriage to Louisa of Prussia in 1825, he received from his father a large plot of land on Korte Voorhout in The Hague. On this land a new palace (designed by architect A. Noordendorp) was built for him by order of King William I for the very high sum of NLG 134000,- at that time. According to a contemporary this building had "a stiff appearance, and actually more the appearance of a factory establishment". The mansion on the corner of Prinssesegracht became an annex to this palace.
